Luciano Huck visits Ukraine and reports a fright with the bombing: ‘One of the most tense mornings’

Presenter Luciano Huck traveled to Ukraine to record the testimony of the country’s president, Volodimir Zelenski, the content of which will be part of a documentary.

However, according to him, that was “one of the most tense mornings” of his life after witnessing a bombing.

“On Monday (26), Ukraine suffered the harshest bombardment since the beginning of the Russian invasion. I was there, staying in an air raid shelter in the capital, Kiev, while everything was happening. It was one of the most tense mornings of my life,” he said on his social media.

According to Huck’s account, what took him to the country, in addition to the project that should soon be part of Globoplay’s catalog, was the desire to get to know the land of his ancestors, see the barbarities of war up close and listen carefully to the people who live through this conflict.

“A few hours after the missile and drone attack, I had the privilege of speaking with President Volodymyr Zelensky about his life, leadership, prospects for a peace agreement and the relationship with Brazil,” he said.

Vladimir Putin’s Russia launched the largest air strike against Ukraine in the early hours of Monday morning since it launched its invasion of the neighboring country on February 24, 2022. According to Kiev, 236 missiles and drones were used against targets in 15 regions.

The account is from President Zelensky, who recorded a video message. According to the Kiev Air Force, 102 of 127 missiles were shot down, as well as 99 of 109 drones. There is no way to independently confirm this.

Previously, the record for the use of such weapons by the Russians at one time was last December, with 158 missiles and drones. The action involved 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers, at least one MiG-31K fighter, as well as launches from land and the Black Sea.

Almost the full range of missiles Moscow has been unleashing on Ukraine has been used, an average of 26 strikes a day since the war began, according to Kiev’s announcement last week.
