Outraged over Russian strike on Kyiv, European defense leaders pledge pressure to end the war
Briefly

The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporters and to keep reporting free of paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid for by those who can afford it. European defense ministers convened in Copenhagen after a Russian air assault on Kyiv killed 23 and damaged a European diplomatic compound. Leaders condemned the attack and urged stronger measures against Moscow, including seizing frozen assets, further sanctions, increased military support for Ukraine and steps toward EU membership. Ministers will also discuss deploying European troops to guarantee security and monitor any potential peace as U.S. peace efforts appear stalled.
