Andriy Sybiha made an online speech at the EU Council, during which he provided detailed information about the Russian ballistic missile attack on Sumy.
Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week were supposed to be a time for peace, but Putin turned them into a time of terror. ... The attack on Sumy was not just an attack on a Ukrainian city. It is an attack on our shared principles, on the values of modern Europe.
The minister called on European governments and municipalities to help Sumy and Kryvyi Rih. The Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his gratitude to European colleagues who expressed solidarity with Ukraine after the attack on Sumy.
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy also called for increased military assistance to Ukraine, and during his speech he listed exactly what is needed.
First of all, strengthening the capabilities of air defense assistance: providing additional complexes, launchers, missiles and spare parts.
He also emphasized military needs: ammunition, long-range missiles, armored vehicles and engineering equipment, aviation, drones.
The minister paid special attention to increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.
Despite all the challenges, the EU continues to increase pressure on the Russian Federation, the Minister of Foreign Affairs hopes. However, Sybiha called for additional strong steps in this direction.
