EU Representation Damaged in Russian Strikes
During the Russian attacks on the capital of Ukraine on the night of August 28, the building of the European Union Representation was damaged.
This was reported by the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, who shared relevant photos on X.
«The EU Representation in Kyiv has suffered from today's Russian strikes on civilian areas. I strongly condemn these brutal attacks, which clearly show that Russia rejects peace and chooses terror,» Kos stated.
«We express full solidarity with EU staff, their families, and all Ukrainians who are enduring this aggression,» the commissioner wrote.
Later, the President of the European Council, António Costa, stated on X that «the EU will not be intimidated.»
«Russia's aggression only strengthens our resolve to support Ukraine and its people,» he declared, adding that his «thoughts are with the Ukrainian victims and the staff of the EU Representation in Ukraine.»
The head of the EU Representation in Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová, said on X that the Russian strike is «Moscow's real response to peaceful efforts.»
«The Russian «peace» last night: a massive strike on Kyiv using drones and ballistic missiles. At least 10 dead, 30 wounded, many buildings destroyed. The EU Representation was severely damaged by the shockwave. This is the true response from Moscow to peaceful initiatives,» Mathernová wrote.
