Vladimir Putin timed the latest bombardment on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv for when Sir Keir Starmer was visiting, further proving that Russia is at war with all of Europe.

The British prime minister arrived in the city for a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky this morning when air raid sirens blasted, warning of incoming missiles and drones.

Explosions sounded across the city, reportedly from Ukrainian air defences as they engaged with the Russian weapons.

Reporters on the ground described them as ‘some of the loudest’ they have heard in Kyiv.

City officials said there were no casualties as a result of the attack, but a car was damaged by falling debris in one of the districts.

Russia regularly launches drones across Ukraine. On Thursday, Ukraine’s air force said it downed 34 out of 55 drones launched overnight, with a further 18 failing to reach targets.
