Outrage as major Russian strikes on Kyiv kill 21 and target EU buildings

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the attack, which also killed three children, shows the world Russia's answer to diplomacy amid efforts by US President Donald Trump to end the war.

Current list is 18 killed, 3 kids at least. Usually, the final count is available 20-30 hours after the strike. Some people die in hospitals weeks later.
Current estimate from the Air Force, launched and intercepted (by various means, EW included)

Russians attacked Ukraine with almost 600 drones and 31 missiles at night

Air defense forces neutralized 589 of 629 air targets

EU building was severely damaged but staff are safe after an attack that Ukraine’s foreign minister said deliberately targeted diplomats.
