The European Union is summoning Moscow’s envoy in Brussels after an EU mission building was damaged in a Russian strike on Kyiv on Aug. 28, top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas said.
“No diplomatic mission should ever be a target,” Kallas said on X.
The meeting with Karen Malayan, the Russian charge d’affaires in the EU, is expected to take place later on Aug. 28, Euronews reported.
Overnight, Russia launched its deadliest attack against the Ukrainian capital since July, firing nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles. At least 18 people were killed, including four children, and 38 people were injured.
The barrage damaged hundreds of buildings around Kyiv, including the office of the EU mission to Ukraine. Pictures shared online by Ukrainian and EU authorities show shattered windows and the damaged interior of the delegation’s building.
Two missiles hit within a distance of 50 meters of the delegation within 15 seconds, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, noting that no staff members were harmed. An EU spokesperson told journalists that the mission remains operational.
