Indignation in Europe: Russia strikes European buildings

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on X that he had summoned the Russian ambassador following a recent series of strikes on Kiev.

These caused several civilian casualties, destroyed many homes and damaged buildings, including the British Council and the European Union delegation building.

David Lammy declared that Putin’s strikes killed civilians, destroyed homes and damaged several buildings, including the British Council and the European Union delegation in Kiev.

He added: “We have summoned the Russian ambassador. This killing and destruction must stop.”

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said after the Russian forward that the EU delegation building in Kiev had been “seriously damaged”.

On the night of August 27-28, Russia launched a massive air offensive against Kiev, deploying nearly 600 drones and over 30 missiles, according to many outlets.

These strikes targeted numerous civilian districts of Kiev as well as diplomatic sites, killing at least 18 people, including four children, and injuring around 50 others.
