I strongly condemn Russian missile attacks on Ukraine overnight.

These brutal attacks also damaged civilian infrastructure, including the EU Delegation in Kyiv.

This morning, I have directed my officials to summon the Russian representative at their Embassy here so they can be left in no doubt as regards our outrage at what happened in Kyiv last night.

Russia must immediately halt its criminal attacks and agree to a full and unconditional ceasefire.
