Prime Minister of Portugal visits Irpin

Prime Minister of Portugal António Costa, who arrived in Ukraine today, has visited Irpin, Kyiv region.

“The levels of destruction and violence are completely devastating. I testified the evidence of vicious, indiscriminate and unjustified attacks. War always affects innocent people. Families that had their lives here, their jobs, their neighbourhood, had to abandon everything to try to save their lives. What impresses me the most is violence against civilians,” Prime Minister of Portugal António Costa posted on Twitter.

The politician added that he would never forget his visit to Irpin.

The Prime Minister of Portugal said that he had arrived in Kyiv, following the invitation made by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

“It is with emotion and respect that I come here, as a sign of solidarity with this country and this people. We condemn the barbaric Russian invasion. Portugal stands for Ukraine,” he stressed.

Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel, and the entire Kyiv region were liberated from Russian invaders in early April.

The law enforcement officers inspected 17,535 objects in Irpin. It was established that 885 buildings were destroyed completely, 2,738 – destroyed partially, 8,651 – damaged superficially.
