UK and EU summon top Russian diplomats after strikes hit British Council and EU offices in deadly attack on Kyiv - Europe live

Overnight raid kills more than a dozen people as European leaders condemn deliberate' targeting of civilians and institutions

Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko has now responded to the overnight Russian attacks on Kyiv, criticising Moscow for horrific and deliberate killing of civilians."

The Russians are not choosing to end the war, only constant expansion of atrocities," she said.

Overnight in Kyiv, dozens of buildings were hit: residential houses, office centers, civilian enterprises. Among them also the building where the European Union Delegation to Ukraine is located.

Russians now believe that they have paralyzed Ukraine's allies with feigned plans for negotiations' and endless delays that only serve as methods to buy time with the true goal only of preventing sanctions.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the senseless Russian strikes on Kyiv which have damaged the British Council building.

Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace.
