The office called the diplomatic reprimand \u201cyet another attempt to deflect attention from Russia\u2019s barbaric full scale invasion of Ukraine and discredit the U.K. on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ukraine receives nearly $4 billion in EU support<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following a phone call with von der Leyen on Friday, Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post that Ukraine has received a 3.3 billion-euro tranche (roughly $3.8 billion) from an EU financial support package meant to strengthen Ukraine\u2019s defense capabilities including the purchase of missiles and drones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding comes as Kyiv faces a projected budget deficit of roughly $27 billion this year. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was also preparing for a meeting with von der Leyen at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week focused on the country\u2019s financial stability.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Russian strikes spark fires and cause deaths and injuries<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two people were killed and two others injured in Russian strikes overnight in the Zhytomyr region, west of Kyiv, Ukraine\u2019s State Emergency Service said in a statement on Telegram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strikes sparked fires in warehouse and production buildings. Rescuers were forced to retreat during repeated air raid alerts, while emergency de-miners inspected the area for explosive devices. Firefighters later extinguished the blazes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, one person was killed and six others injured after Russian forces attacked an electric train in Ukraine\u2019s Kharkiv region, the state emergency service said. The drone strike targeted a railway station in the Novovodolazka community and sparked a fire in two carriages of the suburban train.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s state nuclear corporation Rosatom said that a Ukrainian drone on Thursday hit a cooling tower of a reactor unit at the Kursk nuclear power plant, but the attack hasn\u2019t posed any radiation threat and hasn\u2019t affected its operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian Defense Ministry on Friday said its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 629 Ukrainian drones overnight over 14 Russian regions, as well as illegally annexed Crimea and the Azov and the Black seas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than 350 drones were headed toward Moscow, but that most were destroyed far from the Russian capital while 64 were downed as they approached the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian military said Friday it carried out drone strikes overnight on Ukraine\u2019s ports, vessels and a logistics center operating for the military.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian forces hit a bulk carrier in the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk and a Nova Poshta logistics facility, 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) northwest of Odesa, that the Russian Defense Ministry said was used for storing and distributing military cargo from Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President\u00a0Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u00a0hosted leaders and representatives from seven regional countries for talks on deepening cooperation on Friday, after overnight Russian strikes in multiple regions sparked fires and caused several deaths and injuries.
