Borrell arrived in Kyiv on November 9 for his fifth visit since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion and his last as the EU's top diplomat.
“Starting my day in Kyiv in a shelter as Russia carries out another missile strike,” Borrell wrote on X.
He noted that this has been the daily reality for Ukrainians since the full-scale Russian invasion began.
At 6:52 a.m., an air raid alert was declared across Ukraine due to the takeoff of Russian MiG-31K aircraft and the threat of missile launches from Tu-95MS strategic bombers over the Caspian Sea. The alert lasted until 9:00 a.m.
Overnight, Kyiv's air defenses detected and intercepted around a dozen Russian drones through various means, with the air raid in the capital lasting four and a half hours.
