Russia's massive attacks on Ukraine threaten the peace that US President Donald Trump seeks, stated the US president's special representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, on social media X.

«Targets? Not soldiers and weapons, but residential areas of Kyiv — explosions of civilian trains, offices of EU and UK missions, as well as civilians. These outrageous attacks threaten the peace that the US president seeks», he emphasized, noting that Russia carried out the second largest air attack since the start of the full-scale war, using 600 drones and 31 missiles.

As a result of the night mass attack on Kyiv, destruction was recorded for the first time in all districts of the Ukrainian capital. As a result of the strike in the Darnytskyi district, a missile hit a five-story residential building. One of the entrances was completely destroyed, the strike hit the level of the third-fourth floor, causing massive destruction. According to preliminary data, 19 people died and 50 were injured.

In addition, diplomatic institutions were hit, the building of the European Union mission in Ukraine and the British House were damaged. The EU and the UK summoned Russian ambassadors to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The President of the European Council, António Costa, stated that Russia deliberately damaged the building of the European Union representation, which supports Ukraine in the war. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sibiga, noted that the strike on the diplomat is a direct violation of the Vienna Convention.

Even as a result of the strike, the editorial offices of «Ukrainian Pravda» and «Radio Liberty»* were damaged.
