STORYLINE:
Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas summoned Russia’s EU envoy to Brussels over strikes that damaged EU offices with similar actions taken by the UK.
European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said two strikes landed 20 seconds apart about 50 meters (165 feet) from the EU Mission to Ukraine building in Kyiv. She said no staff were injured in the strike.
“No diplomatic mission should ever be a target. In response, we are summoning the Russian envoy in Brussels,” Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s top diplomat, said Thursday in a post on X.
The British Council, which promotes cultural relations and educational opportunities, also said its Kyiv office had been “severely damaged” in the attack and was closed to visitors until further notice.
Footage by the Associated Press showed the building with its windows and entrance smashed open and surrounded by glass and debris.
A guard was injured and is “shaken but stable,” council chief executive Scott McDonald posted on X.
The Russian ambassador to London was summoned to the foreign office.
