Josep Borrell, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has been forced to spend the early morning of Monday, 11 November in a bomb shelter because an air-raid warning has been issued in Kyiv.
Borrell also posted on X (Twitter) a photo showing himself in the shelter.
"Starting my day in Kyiv in the shelter, as Russia unleashes another missile attack.
This is the daily reality for the Ukrainian people since Russia‘s full-scale invasion," he wrote.
