On the night of July 2, Russia struck again at Ukraine, damaging the office of the NGO “La Strada-Ukraine”

On the night of July 2, Russia launched another strike on Ukraine. The attack killed 30 civilians and injured more than 90 people. 

Russian troops targeted residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Emergency and rescue operations are still ongoing in Kyiv at three locations where enemy strikes occurred last night. 

"A significant part of the rubble has already been cleared by rescuers, but 10 more people are still missing. The search operation will continue as long as necessary," - writes the President of Ukraine. 

Today, July 3, is the Day of Mourning for the Victims of the Russian Attack. We offer our sincere condolences to each and every one who lost their loved ones!

The office of the NGO "La Strada - Ukraine" was also damaged. The blast wave from the closest impact broke out windows and damaged all office premises, including the space of the National Hotline for Children and Youth 116 111. Some office equipment and computer equipment were destroyed.

Most importantly, all our consultants are alive and unharmed. At the time of the shelling, the employees were in shelter.

Despite the damage caused, all three national hotlines of the NGO "La Strada - Ukraine" continue to operate:

116 123 — on preventing domestic violence, combating human trafficking and gender discrimination;

116 111 — for children and youth;

2345 — a psychological support line for men.

This is another reminder of the extremely difficult conditions in which support and protection services operate in Ukraine today.

The organization's team is already doing everything possible to promptly eliminate the consequences, restore damaged workplaces, and ensure uninterrupted assistance to those who find themselves in a crisis situation.

We thank our defenders for giving us the opportunity to work and help those in need! 

We also ask you to donate to our army every day, because we know who makes our every morning start!
