00:00I'm outraged by the attack on Kyiv, also hitting our EU offices.
00:07This was the deadliest drone and missile attack on the capital since July.
00:12And as you can see behind me on the screen, it was an attack also on our delegation.
00:21I just spoke with our deputy ambassador and I'm relieved that none of our staff were harmed.
00:28Last night's attack struck in close proximity of the diplomatic mission, the representation
00:32of our Union.
00:34Two missiles hit in a distance of 50 meters of the delegation within 20 seconds.
00:41And this is another grim reminder of what is at stake.
00:46It shows that the Kremlin will stop at nothing to terrorize Ukraine, blindly killing civilians,
00:53men, women and children, and even targeting the European Union.
00:58This is why we are keeping maximum pressure on Russia.
01:03That means tightening our sanctions regime.
01:06We will come forward soon with our 19th package of heart-biting sanctions.
01:12And in parallel, we are advancing the work on the Russian frozen assets to contribute to
01:20Ukraine's defense and reconstruction.
01:23And of course, we are ensuring strong unwavering support to Ukraine, our neighbor, partner, friend,
01:29and our future member.
