EU summons Russian envoy after mission damaged in Kyiv

The European Union has formally summoned the Russian envoy in Brussels in response to the Russian strike that severely damaged the bloc's delegation in Kyiv.

1news.media informs, citing Euronews, "No diplomatic mission should ever be a target," High Representative Kaja Kallas said on Thursday as she announced her decision.

The Kremlin's chargé d'affaires to the EU is Karen Malayan.

The overnight attack, part of Moscow's campaign of sowing terror and chaos, has killed at least 14 people and left dozens injured, causing major destruction across the city.

Two Russian missiles hit within 50 metres of the delegation in the span of 20 seconds.

"While the world seeks a path to peace, Russia responds with missiles," Kallas said earlier on Thursday. "The overnight attack on Kyiv shows a deliberate choice to escalate and mock the peace efforts. Russia must stop the killing and negotiate."
