Ukraine Convenes UN Security Council Meeting After Deadly Russian Strike on Kyiv
Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has initiated an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council in response to a intensified large-scale Russian air attack on Kyiv and its surrounding regions. The strike, which occurred overnight on May 13-14, 2026, resulted in significant civilian casualties, with at least eight people confirmed killed, including a 12-year-old child, and 44 others injured. Additionally, twenty individuals remain missing following the destruction of a multi-storey residential building. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attacks as acts of terror against civilians and humanitarian personnel, urging strong international responses. He instructed Ukrainian embassies worldwide to lower flags and open condolence books on May 15. Furthermore, foreign ambassadors stationed in Kyiv were invited to visit the devastation site to witness the impact firsthand. This diplomatic mobilization highlights Ukraine's effort to leverage international platforms to address the escalating violence and seek accountability for the loss of life and property damage caused by the Russian military offensive.
