A Russian strike on Kyiv damaged a building near the EU delegation

In the Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of June 10, a building near the European Union delegation in Ukraine was damaged.

This was reported on social media by Katarina Maternova, the European Union ambassador to Ukraine.

Maternova said that as a result of the attack, hundreds of “Shaheds” and missiles that terrorized the Ukrainian capital on the night of June 10 severely damaged a building near the EU delegation in Ukraine.

“Hundreds of Shahed drones & missiles. Another sleepless night. Fires across Kyiv. A building next to the EU Delegation in Ukraine was badly damaged. And still, people go to work in the morning. Russia will not break them. Air defense saves lives. Endless thanks to defenders & rescuers,” Katarina Maternova, the European Union ambassador to Ukraine, wrote on X.

On the night of June 10, Russia struck Ukraine with 322 drone and missile attacks. Ukraine’s air defense managed to shoot down 284 of them.

In Kyiv, four people were injured in these attacks; residential buildings, a business center, warehouses, and a railway were damaged; cars were destroyed; and about 10 fires broke out, some of which are still being extinguished.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha called for powerful new sanctions against Russia after the large-scale air strikes.

Sybiha said that on Monday night, Kyiv and Odesa experienced what was possibly the most massive air strikes since the beginning of the war, with hundreds of UAVs and ballistic missiles being used.

“Russia struck a maternity hospital and ordinary residential buildings, killing and injuring civilians. Russia rejects any meaningful efforts for peace, so it must face new devastating sanctions. Right now. There is nothing more to wait for,” the Ukrainian foreign minister said.

He noted that the priority areas for this are Russian banks, lowering the oil price cap set by the G7, and secondary sanctions against those who help Russia circumvent restrictions.

“These sanctions are not only intended to support Ukraine—they are also necessary for our partners. Such economic restrictions deprive the Russian military machine, which is directed not only against us but also against them, of funding. Equally important steps to strengthen Ukraine include additional supplies of air defense systems,” Sybiha said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that US President Donald Trump, as the “leader of the free world,” should impose sanctions against Russia, which has unleashed a war of aggression.

US Senators Richard Blumenthal (Democrat) and Lindsey Graham (Republican), together with 80 co-authors, have submitted a bill that would impose additional economic sanctions against Russia for refusing to agree to a ceasefire, including the introduction of a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that purchase Russian oil.

“We are beyond pleased that we now have 81 cosponsors for legislation to sanction Russia for its barbaric invasion of Ukraine. Our legislation will isolate Russia – putting it on a trade island by imposing stiff tariffs on other countries that support these atrocities. One of the main priorities of our legislation is to hold China accountable for propping up Putin’s war machine by buying cheap Russian oil from the shadow fleet. Without China’s economic support, Putin’s war machine would come to a grinding halt,” the statement says.

Graham and Blumenthal issued a preliminary threat of sanctions after failed negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Istanbul. The bill also has support in the House of Representatives.
