European and US leaders condemned Russia's overnightmissile and drone barrageagainst Kyiv, with Britain and the European Union summoning Russian diplomats to express outrage.
At least 19 people were killed in Kyiv as Russian missiles destroyed apartment blocks and homes in the capital overnight on August 28. Dozens of people were injured and rescuers picked through piles of smoldering debris looking for survivors.
The barrage was the largest to hit Kyiv in weeks, the latest sign that Russia does not intend to pull back from its attacks, either on the battlefield or on civilian targets.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyenannouncedthat the EU would soon adopt a new package of sanctions, the 19th since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
"In parallel, we are advancing the work on the Russian frozen assets to contribute to Ukraine's defense and reconstruction. And of course, we are ensuring strong, unwavering support to Ukraine, our neighbor, partner, friend, and future Member," von der Leyen said in a statement.
