The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine sustained minor damage as a result of nearby explosions. This unique architectural heritage, built by Iosif Langbard in 1939, has been affected by hostilities for the first time since World War II
According to him, "looking at the broken windows this morning, I can state with full confidence on behalf of our entire diplomatic team: Russian terrorists will not force us to stop."
Ukrainian diplomacy will continue to effectively perform its tasks, resist Russian aggression, and bring peace closer, the Foreign Minister added.
It is also important to note that the Russian strikes were aimed at a historical area, the very center of ancient Rus. Yet more proof that we are dealing with hordes of barbarians, not the heirs of a civilization
