Russia strikes Ukraine hours after Zelenskyy’s UN speech

At least seven people were killed in a Russian strike on a farm in Kharkiv region, with a further 12 people injured.

Two more people were killed in Kyiv, including one in the parking lot of a maternity hospital that was damaged. Eight people were injured.

The attack came just hours after Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged international leaders to keep choking Russia’s revenues and impede its war efforts, telling the UN general assembly that “Russia’s revenues must remain a target.”

I will bring you all the latest on Ukraine here.

Separately, the EU’s António Costa is set to address the UN general assembly later today, on a day which will focus on the Middle East, with Palestinian and Israeli leaders set to deliver their speeches.

And, as always, I will let you know about anything else happening across Europe.

It’s Thursday, 24 September 2026, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.
