Kyiv • UNN
The EU's top diplomat condemned the shelling of Kyiv that damaged an ancient cathedral. She called for Russia's isolation amid the start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU.
EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas strongly condemned Russia's attacks on Ukraine, which the aggressor state carried out overnight on June 15. This was reported by The Guardian, according to UNN.

According to the diplomat, Russia's strikes on Ukraine "clearly showed that Moscow has no intention of ending this war."
The strikes once again resulted in the deaths of civilians and damage to Kyiv's historic cathedral, which is a direct attack on Ukraine's 1,000-year heritage. The strike also exposed the absurdity of Russia's claims to be a protector of Christianity
She emphasized that increasing pressure would also mean isolating Russia at the international level.
While Russia bombs cathedrals, Europe must not roll out the red carpet for Russian artists and athletes who support the Kremlin's war. Culture and sports should not be tools for concealing aggression
She added that the opening of the first cluster of Ukraine's EU accession negotiations is an important milestone, and Ukraine's membership in the European Union will make Europe stronger.
As a reminder
On Monday, June 15, the European Union officially opened the first stage of Ukraine's accession negotiations, ending a two-year delay caused by the Hungarian veto.
