Ihor Malcevski, aged 69, was in the headquarters of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, on Monday, when the historic building was hit by a drone from the Russian forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In Monday’s attack at the Academy of Sciences in Kiev, one person was killed and three others were injured, according to local authorities. In the vicinity of the nineteenth-century building are the German Embassy, the National Opera, Saint Vladimir Cathedral, and a series of government buildings, wrote The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Malcevski, the deputy director of a department within the institution, looked out from the window of his office located on the 3rd floor, while black and dense smoke was coming out of the building.<\/p>\n\n

\n

“My thoughts were focused on one thing: how to save myself from this situation”<\/em>, he recounted on Monday for Reuters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The fear of heights did not stop him from going out the window and climbing onto a ledge on the facade of the building, to escape from the smoke and flames inside.<\/p>\n\n

\n

“In the first few seconds you don’t understand – then the mind kicks in and starts to analyze what happened”<\/em>, the man further stated in the interview given from his residence outside of Kiev.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Eventually, Malcevski descended a ladder that the building rescuers had propped up.<\/p>\n\n
