The President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen writes on X that "The Kremlin once again (shows) its contempt for diplomacy, tramples on international law and kills indiscriminately".
She continues: "Europe stands, and will continue to stand, by Ukraine's side. We are strengthening Ukraine's armed forces, setting up long-term security guarantees and increasing sanctions to increase the pressure on Russia."
Ulf Kristersson writes on X that the EU's next sanctions package, the 19th in order, must hit the Russian war economy even harder.
The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says in a statement that ”the cowardly attack” shows that Vladimir Putin ”is not serious about talking about peace” while the French President Emmanuel Macron on X writes that his thoughts are with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
At least two civilians were killed and 17 injured when Russia sent drones and missiles against the Ukrainian capital during the night against Sunday, according to Mayor Vitalij Klytjko.
