"Russia's wave of terror against Ukraine is not accidental, but part of its military strategy. Residential buildings with sleeping families, as well as critical infrastructure necessary for the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians, remain targets. Such attacks are planned in advance. This indicates that when Ukraine proposed extending the Easter truce and giving diplomacy a chance, the Russian leadership had already approved plans for further civilian killings," Sybiha emphasized.
As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out, "this attack claimed at least 15 lives, including a child, in Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro, and more than 100 people were injured across the country."
Russian brutality demands an immediate and decisive international response, including from the UN Security Council. At the Council meeting scheduled for Monday, April 20, at Ukraine's request, we will raise the issue of the need for a strong reaction from the UN Security Council to state terror by Russia – a country that still illegally occupies its permanent seat.
The minister emphasized: "The world must be united in supporting Ukraine, increasing pressure on the aggressor, and working to bring them to justice. Together, we must restore respect for international law, including the UN Charter, by ending Russian aggression against Ukraine."
