Russian missile strikes on Kyiv killed 21 people, including 4 children, and damaged the European Union’s mission office. A five-storey building collapsed, and dozens were injured. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen expressed outrage, saying missiles landed within 50 meters of the EU delegation. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Russia of “sabotaging hopes of peace,” while Ukraine’s President Zelensky called for tougher sanctions. Germany, the UK, and the EU summoned Russian diplomats. The strikes followed massive drone attacks on Ukraine’s power grid. Zelensky said Russia had chosen “ballistics instead of the negotiating table.” EU sanctions are being expanded. (PC: BBC)
