A massive Russian strike on Kyiv, which killed at least twelve people and damaged buildings that hold the European Union and British diplomatic missions, has created serious doubt about the viability of peace negotiations supported by Donald Trump. The attack, which a Ukrainian minister said deliberately targeted diplomats, is being viewed by European leaders as a direct insult and a purposeful attempt to ruin efforts to end the conflict.
The overnight barrage of drones and ballistic missiles caused a lot of damage, but no European Union staff were injured. According to Politico, those staff will stay in the country, even with the danger. The European Union ambassador confirmed that the shockwave severely damaged the building. In Brussels, the European Union foreign affairs chief, Kaja Kallas, called the strike a deliberate choice to escalate tensions and mock peace initiatives, which led to Russia’s envoy being summoned for a formal meeting.
