Starmer condemns 'senseless' Russian strikes on Kyiv - as Macron criticises 'great cruelty'

As we reported in the post just below this one, the British Council building in Kyiv was damaged during Russia's attacks on Kyiv overnight.

Referring to that damage, the UK's prime minister has now spoken out on the assault on the Ukrainian capital.

"Terror and barbarism. More than a dozen dead, including children. Residential areas and civilian infrastructure targeted," the French president said.

"France condemns with the utmost firmness these senseless attacks of great cruelty. Total support for the Ukrainian people, deep compassion for all bereaved families."
