A building near the European Union Delegation to Ukraine was damaged in the capital as a result of a Russian attack on the night of 9-10 June

"Hundreds of Shahed drones & missiles. Another sleepless night. Fires across Kyiv. A building next to the EU Delegation was badly damaged," EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová wrote on (X).

She added that despite this, "people go to work in the morning. Russia will not break them."

"Air defence saves lives. Endless thanks to defenders & rescuers."

On the night of 9-10 June, Russia launched 322 aerial attack assets against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force successfully shot down 284 of them. 

In Kyiv, the attack injured four people, damaged residential buildings, a business centre, warehouses and a railway, destroyed cars and caused approximately 10 fires – some of which are still being extinguished. 

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged the international community not to hesitate with new, powerful sanctions against Russia following the large-scale air strikes.
