The European Union has strongly condemned a recent Russian attack on an EU office located in Kyiv, Ukraine. In response, EU President Ursula von der Leyen has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to urgently consider participating in peace negotiations. This attack comes amidst ongoing conflict, with Ukraine reporting that at least 21 individuals were killed in overnight Russian strikes. The incident has further intensified the already high tensions between the EU and Russia, as both sides continue to grapple with the ongoing crisis.
