European commissioner trapped in Kiev: Shot there during the brutal Russian bombings

EU Justice Commissioner Didier Riders along with his team are “blocked” in Kiev.

Russian attacks on Kiev and strong explosions have forced Reyes and his team to move quickly to the basement of the hotel, to wait there until the calming of the situation.

A series of explosions in downtown Kiev this morning. Thanks to the rapid response of security personnel, my team and I quickly moved to the basement of the hotel. We are safe and we expect to evolve the situation. In Borodianka, with Attorney General Andriy Costin and the mayor of the city, I witnessed the terrible destruction caused by the Russian Army against civilians on the outskirts of Kiev”, Reynders writes on the social Twitter network.

A series of explosions occurred at midnight in Kiev, killing and wounding dozens. The blasts come two days after the damage to the bridge linking Russia to the conquered Crime, which Vladimir Putin accuses Ukrainian intelligence services of what he called an act of terrorism.
