Josep Borrell has been forced to seek refuge in Kyiv
During his visit to Kyiv, Josep Borrell, the high representative of the European Union, had to take refuge in the basement of the hotel where he was staying due to a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian capital. This incident took place in the early hours of this Wednesday
An unexpected attack
Borrell had an agenda of meetings scheduled for the day, but had to change his plans when Ukrainian military forces reported the presence of missiles around 6 am. This has forced Borrell and his delegation to take refuge in a space prepared as a refuge in the hotel where they were staying. Fortunately, thanks to this quick action, more serious consequences have been avoided
The situation in Kyiv
After the attack, the sirens were activated and the population of the Ukrainian capital had time to take refuge. An hour later, a loud explosion was heard in the center of Kyiv. The explosion could be the result of an impact between the Russian missile and another projectile launched by the air defenses of Ukraine [[1]](https://www.ara.cat/llengua/5-arguments-5 -tricks-not-to-change-language-not-inconvenient_1_4544047.html).
Borrell’s reaction

In his message, he denounced Russia’s illegal aggression and showed his support for the Ukrainian people. This Wednesday, Borrell plans to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine
