Russian massive attack damages Boeing offices in Kyiv

The Financial Times reported the information.

According to two Boeing employees, three Ukrainian officials, and the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine (ACC), the building became one of the targets of the strike on Sunday night—during one of the most intense barrages since the start of the war.

Photos published by Ukraine's State Emergency Service and verified by the FT show serious damage to the building and rescuers extinguishing a fire inside.

Boeing’s activities in Ukraine

Boeing is one of the most well-known American companies operating in Ukraine. Its main activities are focused on engineering support and technical services. The company closely cooperates with the Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer Antonov, which is known for its heavy transport aircraft, including military ones.

The overnight attack from Sunday to Monday was one of the largest. The Russian army launched 315 drones, two ballistic missiles, and five cruise missiles at Kyiv, Odesa, and other cities. Moscow intensified its strikes after an unexpected Ukrainian drone attack deep inside Russian territory, where strategic bombers were damaged even near the Arctic Circle.

What the company says

A Boeing spokesperson assured that the company prioritizes the safety of its employees. None of the staff were injured. The representative also praised the resilience of the personnel working in difficult and dangerous conditions.

According to one employee and the president of the American Chamber of Commerce, Andy Hunder, Boeing has over 1,000 employees in Ukraine and, despite the war, has continued operations almost without interruption.

According to Andrii Koriahin, Deputy General Director of Boeing in Ukraine, despite the damage to the Kyiv office, "there has been no disruption to the company’s operations."

Another company employee said that Boeing is even actively hiring staff in Ukraine. For example, on June 2, the company posted a vacancy for a manager of aircraft interior design and certification at the Kyiv office.

Trump may be outraged

As noted in the publication, the fact that such a well-known American company was affected may provoke outrage from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has recently become increasingly irritated by Moscow’s actions.

• In May, the Polish National Tax Administration seized 5 tons of tires for Boeing civil aircraft, which are subject to European Union sanctions and were intended to transit through Belarus and Russia.
