The President of the European Commission and the head of the Eurodiplomacy condemned the Russian massive attack of the Russian Federation.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaya Kallas condemned the Russian strikes on Ukraine on the night of May 24. They wrote about this in X, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
“Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and its disregard for both human life and peace negotiations. Terror against civilians is not force. This is despair,” wrote von der Leyen.
She added that soon the EU will provide Ukraine with additional assistance to strengthen air defense.
Kallas also called the attack a terrorist act and explained Moscow’s actions by the fact that her army had come to a standstill at the front. The Oreshnik strike, in her opinion, is intimidation and the risk of nuclear war.
“Next week, EU foreign ministers will discuss how to increase international pressure on Russia,” the official writes.
The Russian army on the night of May 24 massively attacked Ukraine. The main target was Kyiv, but there is destruction and dead in the region as well. The Russian army fired 90 missiles, of which 36 ballistic, and 600 drones. In the capital, two people were killed and 77 wounded, three of them in serious condition. In the region – two dead and 11 wounded.
In Kyiv, monuments and departments are damaged: the National Art Museum, the Chernobyl Museum, the Foreign Ministry building, the Malaya Opera, the Ukrainian House, the Museum on Poshtova Square, the Dynamo Stadium, the Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences.
President Vladimir Zelensky announced the use of Russia’s medium-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik” on the White Church in the Kyiv region.
The Russians carried out a preliminary massive attack on Kyiv on the night of May 14. Then a high-rise building in the Darnitsky district collapsed. A total of 24 people were killed, including three children.
Ukraine then convened an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, where it condemned the attack and called for increased sanctions pressure on Russia.
