Russian Barrage on Kyiv Kills at Least 23 and Damages EU Sites as U.S. Advances $825 Million Arms Sale

The strike undercuts ceasefire momentum, with a European-financed ERAM deal now before Congress.

Overview

  • Kyiv officials report at least 23 dead and dozens injured, with the EU delegation and the British Council among damaged sites as rescue crews search rubble.
  • UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attacks on civilians and renewed his call for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire.
  • Moscow said it struck munitions plants and air bases and that all targets were hit, a claim at odds with Ukrainian accounts after what Zelenskyy called one of Russia’s largest attacks.
  • The United States notified Congress of a planned $825 million sale including 3,350 ERAM rockets, GPS units, spares, training and support, financed by Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway along with a U.S. credit guarantee.
  • The White House said President Trump was not surprised by the assault, and officials are continuing diplomacy with EU ministers meeting in Copenhagen and Ukrainian envoys set for talks in New York on security guarantees.
