According to data from LUN, an IT company operating in the real estate sector, there are approximately 12,000 multi-unit residential buildings in Kyiv, and the total number of residential properties, including the private sector, exceeds 14,000.

This means that currently, about one-third of multi-unit residential buildings have already been damaged by Russian attacks.

As a reminder, the number of cultural heritage sites damaged as a result of Russian attacks has risen sharply in Kyiv.
