Ukraine-Russia war latest: European leaders accuse Putin of ‘sabotaging peace’ after devastating Kyiv attack
Keir Starmer has condemned Russia’s massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine’s capital that targeted the British Council building and EU headquarters, killing 23 people, including children.
Russian leader Vladimir “Putin is killing children and civilians and sabotaging hopes of peace,” the prime minister said on X.It was the first major attack on Kyiv since Putin met with Donald Trump in Alaska, though the Russian leader has since stalled any efforts to kickstart peace talks.
“This is another grim reminder of what is at stake. It shows that the Kremlin will stop at nothing to terrorise Ukraine, blindly killing civilians and even targeting the European Union,” EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said.
Both the EU and the UK have summoned the Russian ambassador to protest.
Trump said he “was not happy about this news, but he was also not surprised” about the attack, according to the White House.
