Sybiha on Russia's barbaric attack during the Beijing summit: Trump and Xi have enough influence to tell Putin to end the war

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha commented on the massive Russian shelling of Ukraine, noting that this barbaric attack occurred during an important summit in Beijing, and pointing out that the leaders of the US and China have enough influence to tell Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to end the war, UNN reports.

Precisely at the time when the leaders of the most powerful countries are meeting in Beijing, and the world hopes for peace, predictability, and cooperation, Putin launched hundreds of drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles at the capital of Ukraine. This barbaric attack during such an important summit demonstrates that the Russian regime poses a global threat to international security. Instead of peace and development, Moscow chooses aggression and terror,

In Kyiv, the Foreign Minister noted, entire blocks of residential buildings were destroyed, and there are dead and wounded civilians. Other cities and communities across the country also came under attack.

"Putin wants this war to continue in order to maintain his control and power over Russia. There should be no illusions or vain hopes: only pressure on Moscow can force him to stop," the Minister emphasized.

I am convinced that the leaders of the United States and China have enough leverage over Moscow to tell Putin to finally end the war. And this would be the greatest positive development,

As a reminder

US President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing during a state visit to the Chinese capital.
