The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU) honored rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) who were killed during Russian attacks. The ZSU stated that Russian forces are using tactics of repeated strikes on the same locations where rescuers are operating, aiming to eliminate them and those they are saving.

The Ukrainian General Staff acknowledged that Russian forces are systematically targeting civilian areas in Ukraine, with no military objectives present. They specifically mentioned the tactic of double-tap strikes, where a second strike targets the same location shortly after the first, often when emergency services are already on site. The statement also paid tribute to the fallen rescuers, calling them 'brothers and sisters in arms' and stating their names are inscribed in the 'annals of Ukrainian resilience'.
