Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statement.

• From: Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street and The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP

I’m appalled by the latest brutal overnight assault on Kyiv and across Ukraine, which killed civilians and hit infrastructure. For the first time, the heart of Ukraine’s civilian government was damaged.

These cowardly strikes show that Putin believes he can act with impunity. He is not serious about peace.

Now, more than ever, we must stand firm in our support for Ukraine and its sovereignty.
