28.08.2025 โ‡ข The day of diplomatic summons over Kyiv attacks
โŒจThe day's editorial focus rapidly shifted to a severe international crisis as Russia launched a "massive" missile and drone attack on Kyiv. Morning reports detailed initial casualties and escalating violence, with the death toll steadily rising throughout the day from 12 to at least 21 people, including children. Crucially, the attacks reportedly struck the British Council and EU offices in Kyiv. This prompted a strong diplomatic response: the UK, followed by the EU, summoned Russian ambassadors and envoys, condemning the strikes and urging Russia to cease "senseless killing" and accusing it of "sabotaging peace." Meanwhile, the ongoing FBI investigation into the Minneapolis school shooting as an anti-Catholic hate crime continued, with further details emerging about the attacker and victims. Domestic discussions on migration policy and the UK's record-low fertility rate also persisted, albeit less prominently.
