European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned Russia's attacks on the Kyiv and Sloviansk regions.

Commenting on Russia's latest attacks, von der Leyen said: "I would like to express my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in Russia's latest attacks on the Kyiv and Sloviansk regions."

Noting that Latvia's Honorary Consulate was also damaged during the attacks, von der Leyen said: "This once again proves Russia's complete disregard for diplomacy. Europe stands in full solidarity with Latvia and Ukraine."

Reacting to the strikes on civilian targets, von der Leyen concluded: "Russia is losing the war it started and is desperately targeting civilians in an attempt to crush Ukraine's spirit. But Ukraine's spirit is unbreakable. And so is Europe's determination to support Ukraine's defense."
