UK Labour leader Keir Starmer reacts to Russian strikes on Kyiv, saying he is “utterly appalled” by the attacks. Multiple reports state the strikes kill at least 18 people in the Ukrainian capital and leave many others injured. Coverage highlights the reported scale of casualties, with scores of people said to have been harmed, underscoring the impact of the bombardment on civilians in Kyiv.

The reports frame Starmer’s comments as a condemnation of the attacks rather than providing additional new details about the specific sites struck or the timing beyond the general reference to “deadly” strikes. The emphasis across sources is on the loss of life and the injuries resulting from the assault, alongside Starmer’s expression of shock and disapproval. The information presented is limited to the casualty figures and the political reaction, with no further corroborated breakdown of events included in the provided excerpts.
