A Russian drone struck a Security Service of Ukraine building in central Kyiv on September 4, an attack President Zelensky said targeted the office of acting SBU chief Oleksandr Poklad. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry called it a serious escalation and evidence Moscow is not interested in diplomacy, while the SBU promised a 'painful' response.

EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius framed the strike as Putin's own doing, arguing on social media that Russian escalation only invites mirrored Ukrainian retaliation, citing refinery strikes and lost international flights as precedent. He predicted Russian intelligence headquarters should now expect visits from Ukrainian drones.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A commissioner tweeting predictions about who bombs whom next is not exactly a peace plan, it is a weather forecast for a war nobody in Brussels can stop. When the working theory of victory is 'they hit us, so we hit them, and eventually somebody blinks,' you are describing a fistfight, not a strategy. The people waiting on that painful response are, as always, not the ones typing the tweets.
