President Volodymyr Zelensky has handed over the keys to new apartments to people who suffered from an explosion that happened in a multi-storey building in Kyiv on June 21.

“We will give the keys to all 40 apartments in the coming days. Today, we want to hand over the keys to 12 apartments to families with children and separately to Anastasiia, who lost her whole family, and Anatolii, who lost his father,” Zelensky said.

He added that people will receive new apartments, and asked Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko to help repair them.
