The UK Foreign Office tells Russia to "stop this senseless killing" after strikes on Kyiv kill at least 19 people, including four children

It comes after the department summoned Russia's UK ambassador over the attacks which injured dozens, and damaged British Council and EU mission buildings

Ukraine's President Zelensky accuses Moscow of choosing "ballistics instead of the negotiating table", while the White House says US President Trump is "not happy, but also not surprised" by the strikes

"I'm scared, but I don't want to leave," a Kyiv resident who saw the explosions from her home tells the BBC

Nobody in Ukraine is under any illusion this war will end soon, writes our correspondent in Kyiv

Meanwhile, Ukraine's armed forces report hitting an oil refinery in Russia's southern Krasnodar region - Moscow says it intercepted 102 Ukrainian drones overnight

Every one of the deaths in this war have been “senseless killings.” Maybe Z should put a stop to it.

The British should be protecting their 12 year old daughters from being raped by Muslims.

The only person who can stop it, is the one who started it, namely Putin.

Ukrainians thought, in January 2022 that Putin had already grabbed his chunk of flesh: Crimes and the Donbas and that he would be satisfied.

But no, he went for a head shot in Feb 3022 and failed.

Their fear is that he will come back in a few years and grab more land if he gets his way now

Ukraine (CIA) Build Drone Factory Next to Buildings Housing EU and British Delegations – Putin Blows It up Anyway

August 28, 2025 | Sundance

I guess we can call this a FAFO war edition.  Ukraine, likely the CIA all things considered, built a drone manufacturing facility next to the buildings housing the EU and British delegations in Kiev.  Putin blew it up.

None of the EU or Brits were harmed, but the EU and British go bananas.

(Via Politico) – Early Thursday, Russia launched a deadly attack on Kyiv that killed at least 12 and damaged buildings housing the EU and British delegations.

There were no injuries to EU staff in the attack. Commission spokesperson Arianna Podestà said Thursday: “The attacks are completely unacceptable. In no way will they shake our support for Ukraine.” She added that diplomatic staff would remain in Ukraine despite the attack.

The EU’s ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Mathernova, said the building was “severely damaged by the shock wave” of the “massive” barrage of drones and ballistic missiles Russia launched at Ukraine overnight. (read more)

The Russian Armed Forces struck, including with “Kinzhal” missiles, at military-industrial complex enterprises and Ukrainian military airbases; the Russian Ministry of Defense reported Ukrainian sources report that missiles hit directly in the city center, near Olimpiyskaya metro, on Zhylianskaya Street and nearby areas.

Office buildings were damaged, including banks, international representations, and media outlets. Among them were the EU office and the British Council. Other districts of Kiev were also hit. In addition to missiles, the capital was attacked with new strike drones. {LINK}

If EU and British Council offices were blown up, one wonders what satchels of cash being readied for transshipment westwards were lost in the explosion and subsequent fires.
