Russian attack war: Missiles on Kyiv suburb during Wadephul visit

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul visited Kyiv on the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union. During his visit, Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on a suburb of Kyiv, killing at least two people, including a child. The attack damaged warehouses, parked trucks, residential buildings, and a gas station in the Boryspil area, about 30 kilometers east of Kyiv.

Wadephul emphasized the need for continued support for Ukraine, including the delivery of Patriot air defense systems, and will try to persuade allies to provide them.
