A Russian missile strike targeting Kyiv killed at least one person shortly after a meeting in the city between U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called the attack an attempt to "humiliate" the U.N.
Ukraine's emergency services said at least ten others were also injured in the strike, which targeted the residential high-rise and another building. Russia claimed it “destroyed production buildings” at a defense factory in Kyiv.
“This says a lot about Russia’s true attitude towards global institutions, about attempts of Russian authorities to humiliate the U.N. and everything that the organization represents,” Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation. "Therefore, it requires corresponding powerful reaction.”
Guterres had been in Ukraine and Russia this week seeking humanitarian evacuations from the besieged port city of Mariupol, which the U.N. said Russia agreed to “in principle." Guterres also toured some of the destruction in and around Kyiv.
