Details
As Sybiha noted, over the past day, the Russians launched a massive attack against Ukraine, using almost 700 drones, dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles.
At least 4 people died in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old child, more than 50 people were injured; 8 people died in Odesa; 3 died and about three dozen were injured in Dnipro; 1 person died in Zaporizhzhia. Such attacks cannot become the norm. These are war crimes that must be stopped, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
– the minister's post reads.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called on the international community for immediate action. He noted that all decisions necessary to increase pressure on the aggressor must be unblocked now.




Delaying sanctions against Russia or support packages for Ukraine is immoral, counterproductive, and dangerous. Every day of further inaction on critical decisions sends false signals and encourages the aggressor to continue, prolong, and expand the war.
– Sybiha noted.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called on all states to join the Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine by notifying the Council of Europe of their intention to accede to the Enlarged Partial Agreement.
