The death toll from a Russian missile strike on a historic cathedral in central Kyiv has risen to 11, with dozens more wounded. The attack, which occurred during morning service, has been condemned by world leaders. Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed that the UK would “stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” pledging additional military aid and humanitarian support.
