Ukraine said its air defences shot down 23 of 25 Russian cruise missiles fired chiefly at the capital Kyiv overnight, and there were no reported casualties
, hosting EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, said its air defences shot down 23 of 25 Russian cruise missiles fired chiefly at the capital Kyiv overnight, and there were no reported casualties. It was the second night in a row of major Russian air strikes and fifth so far this month.
The traditional “Immortal Regiment” processions, in which people carry portraits of relatives who fought against the Nazis, were cancelled. Moscow denies targeting civilians and says its air strikes are aimed at reducing Ukraine’s ability to fight. “Good to be back in Kyiv. Where the values we hold dear are defended everyday,” the EU’s von der Leyen tweeted, calling it a “such a fitting place to celebrate the day of Europe”.
Ukraine, which as part of the Soviet Union overrun by the Nazis suffered worse per capita losses than Russia in World War Two, says Moscow’s account of the shared history is distorted to justify today’s Russian aggression.
