🇷🇺 Russia has bombed a 🇬🇧 British Council building and the European headquarters in Kyiv in a 'deliberate' double strike during a huge onslaught on the Ukrainian capital that has left at least 17 dead.

Video shows a missile slamming into the British building in a fireball explosion at around 5.40am before a second followed 20 seconds later leaving it 'severely damaged'.

The British Council, which offers educational courses and English language programmes, is run independently but receives sponsorship from the Foreign Office.

Another building that was occupied by the European Union's delegation to Kyiv was also hit with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen accusing Moscow of a 'deliberate' strike and 'targeting the EU'.

A furious Keir Starmer accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of 'sabotaging' any hopes of peace while Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks showed 'Russia still does not fear the consequences'.

While no EU staff was harmed, a security guard was injured in the British Council attack. There was also bloodshed across the city with Putin launching 629 drones and missiles - including hypersonic rockets - across the country, the second-highest figure of the entire war, leaving apartment buildings in tatters and at least 17 dead.

It comes as Putin continues to stall on talks about ending the war and despite US President Donald Trump's push for a ceasefire.

Following the strikes, the EU has summoned Moscow's envoy in Brussels. Kaja Kallas the bloc's foreign policy chief said: 'It shows that the Kremlin will stop at nothing to terrorise Ukraine, blindly killing civilians, men, women and children, and even targeting the European Union'.

kelechiodo:
How Europe and the entire world continue to tolerate this Hitler called Putin is still dumbfounding. Someone just woke up one day and start killing fellow human beings from another country and world just kept on looking and him and cowing in silence. After Ukraine, Poland would be next. Putin needs to be stopped now. He is too irrational.

israelmao:
This was targeted strike to provoked EU and escalate war. Russia may have her hands too full beyond which she could contain.

CTee1:
Let there be peace for God sake. Stop the bombing already.
