A YOUNG girl has miraculously survived a 100ft fall off a tower block after her family’s apartment was hit by the latest deadly Russian attacks.
Vladimir Putin’s malevolent forces conducted a horrifying overnight attack that claimed the lives of 11 individuals, including a young boy of six and his mother, leaving Kyiv devastated.
Brave Veronika and her parents were in bed inside their ninth-floor apartment when a missile struck the building.
A terrifying explosion ripped through the towering block of flats as those inside were blasted out of their homes and sent flying through the sky.
Veronika was sent plunging over 100ft to the ground but managed to cheat death by landing on her cushioned bed.
She was left with a broken leg and lost a tooth.
The emotional toll has weighed far greater on her with her parents yet to be found among the rubble.
Speaking on the horrific wake-up, Veronika said: “I fell from the ninth floor. I just had a broken leg and a tooth was knocked out.
“I was conscious, I was just sleepy and didn’t understand what was happening.
“I heard an explosion and a second later I was on the ground. I don’t know how it happened.
“I don’t know what happened to my father, what happened to my mother. I don’t know where they are yet. What happened to them?”
The tragic death toll from the strikes sits at 11 with another 135 injured.
Thirty of the wounded are still receiving treatment in hospital – including five children.
Many, including Veronika’s parents, remain missing.
Vlad reportedly sent eight Iskander-K cruise missiles and 309 Shahed drones, according to Ukraine’s armed forces.
Five buildings were directly hit, they added.
President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a video of burning ruins, saying people were still trapped under the rubble of one residential building.
He said: “Kyiv. Missile strike. Directly into a residential building. People under the rubble. All services are on site. Russian terrorists.”
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitaly Klitschko, honored the victims, describing the assault as the most dreadful night for children since the war began.
The Telegram channel Pravda Gerashchenko reported: “As rescuers work to clear the wreckage and search for the living, people remain at the scene of the disaster, anxiously awaiting updates on their loved ones.”
“These scenes break the heart. Show them to those who think the maniac Putin can be appeased.”
The latest strike shows Putin has no intention of avoiding Trump’s ire and cutting a peace deal with Ukraine.
The US President has repeatedly said that the nightly bombing of civilians shows him Vlad isn’t serious about peace.
Trump’s shortened 10-day deadline could now see massive sanctions slapped on Russia or those who buy Moscow’s oil by August 8.
Trump slammed tyrant Putin while visiting Scotland earlier this week as he has not taken Trump’s peace efforts seriously.
Trump said was “very disappointed” with him and said there was “no reason” to not implement sanctions earlier on Russia.
He has made getting peace in Ukraine a priority and has talked to Putin directly as he has tried to get him to cut a deal.
But the tyrant has not moved away from his maximalist demands and will only sign a deal that leaves Ukraine defenceless.
Vlad has spent months talking up the prospect of peace, but appears to have alienated Trump after launching huge barrages at Ukrainian civilians.
The deadly blitzes are intended to sap morale and hammer civilian infrastructure, experts say.
