In Kyiv, the British Council building was damaged by a Russian missile attack on the night of August 28.

“As a result of the night attack on Kyiv, our office was significantly damaged and will remain closed to visitors until further notice. Despite possible delays in responses, we continue our work with Ukrainian partners in the fields of education and culture. You can contact us by e-mail,” the statement said.

In addition, British correspondent Caolan Robertson, who has lived in Ukraine in recent years and covered the war on the social network X, stated that representatives of the British government and British employees were regularly present in the attacked building, and the Russians knew this.

“They were not at all stopped by hitting this building, and they will not hesitate to hit such buildings again and again. And if you look around this street, there are no military targets here. This is a residential street where people slept, where children slept,” the journalist said.
