Ukrainian President Zelensky posted on social media on the 4th that the headquarters of the Ukrainian National Security Service in the center of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, was attacked by Russian military drones on the same day. On the same day, Ukrainian media quoted sources as reporting that US presidential envoy Witkov, who plans to visit Russia and Ukraine, is considering alternative plans to visit Russia and Ukraine due to security concerns. Zelensky said that Russian drones hit the headquarters building of the Ukrainian National Security Service located opposite Hagia Sophia and deliberately attacked the director's office. Rescue agencies and law enforcement departments such as the Ukrainian National Emergency Service are working on the scene. He has spoken with Ukraine's National Security Service Director Alexander Pokrad and instructed that once ready, a “strong and equal response” will be made to Russia, and that the Ukrainian military will provide support. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Serbija said in a social media post on the same day that the Russian military attack on the headquarters of the Ukrainian National Security Service is a major escalation and requires a firm response. The Ukrainian side called on international partners to condemn this and increase pressure on Russia. Ukraine's “Kyiv Independent” quoted an anonymous source as reporting, “Russia does not want Witkov and US President Trump's son-in-law Kushner to visit Kyiv; they have been told that this place is dangerous.” Currently, Ukrainian airspace is still closed. Witkov originally planned to travel by air, but now the visit plan may change.
