A major Russian air assault on Kyiv has left at least 21 people dead and severely damaged European Union offices, eliciting widespread condemnation from European leaders. The strikes, characterized as the second-largest attack since the onset of the Ukraine war, included missile and drone assaults that struck multiple civilian sites, including the British Council. In response, the EU has summoned Russian envoys to express their outrage, while calls for renewed peace negotiations intensify. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Trump emphasized the need for a just resolution to the ongoing conflict as the international community grapples with the implications of the attack.
