The European Union strongly condemned the latest Russian strikes near the Ukraine-Poland border, including an attack on a passenger train reportedly carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, EU Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni told Anadolu on Sunday.
"We strongly condemn the latest Russian strikes near the Ukraine-Poland border, including the attack on a passenger train," El Anouni said in a written statement.
His remarks came after German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that a privately chartered train traveling from Kyiv toward Poland earlier Sunday with European officials as well as Johnson aboard was evacuated due to a Russian drone attack nearby.
El Anouni also pointed to the EU's recent decision to approve €6.1 billion ($7 billion) in support for Ukraine's air and missile defense.
"We will continue to stand firmly with Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian aggression," he said.
