"The EU will not be intimidated. Russia's aggression only strengthens our resolve to stand with Ukraine and its people," Costa said. European Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos also criticised Russia for the attack and expressed solidarity with EU staff and Ukrainians.

Zelensky also condemned the attack

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia's missile attack. In a post on Twitter, he said, “At this moment in Kiev, after the Russian attack, the first rescue workers are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building. Another major attack on our cities and communities. Again murders. Tragically, at least 8 people have been confirmed dead. One of them is a child. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.”

Meanwhile, Ukraine has criticised Russia for planning to withdraw the Council of Europe from the torture prevention treaty, saying the resolution is a tacit admission of guilt on Moscow's part, reports Al Jazeera. Ukrainian officials have long accused Russia of war crimes and torturing Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war.
