Russian attacks kill 14 in Kyiv as Zelensky visits UK

Zelensky calls Russia, N.Korea and Iran as a 'coalition of murderers;' we still believe there is an irreversible path for Ukraine to Nato, says Rutte

- 

Russian drones and missiles killed at least 14 civilians and injured several dozen others in Ukraine in overnight attacks, local officials said on Monday, with nine deaths reported in the capital, Kyiv, where an apartment building partially collapsed.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 23 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday.

The attacks came as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky began a visit to the United Kingdom, where he met privately with King Charles III.

Russia fired 352 drones and decoys overnight, as well as 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, Ukraine's air force said. Air defenses intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles before they could reach their targets, a statement said.

Separately, Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Monday that Ukraine's path to Nato is irreversible, adding that a Nato response to any Russian attack on the alliance would be “devastating.”

“There's an irreversible path of Ukraine to Nato (...) that is still the truth today and it will still be true on Thursday after this summit,” he told reporters ahead of a two-day summit of the Alliance in The Hague.
