28.08.2025The day Russia attacked the Kyiv EU delegation
Spanish media focused primarily on Interior Minister Marlaska's Senate appearance, where he defended the government's wildfire management and accused the Popular Party of "manipulating" facts. This intensified the ongoing political debate over fire response, which had seen villages rehoused and royal visits. Concurrently, a major international story developed: Russia launched a missile and drone "blitz" on Kyiv, which media reported killed up to 21 people and "deliberately" damaged the EU delegation. This drew strong condemnation from the EU and UK. Domestically, a positive development emerged as Galicia declared itself free of active wildfires for the first time in weeks, though a new intentional fire in Berlanga del Bierzo led to an evacuation and an arrest.
