According to Sybiha, such attacks leave wounds far beyond the battlefield – they take human lives, destroy communities, and damage the cultural heritage that preserves the nation's memory and identity.
We expect UN Security Council members to send a clear signal: Russia must realize that neither Ukraine nor the international community will compromise on the principles of the UN Charter and international law. It is time to end this war. We are grateful to our partners for their solidarity with Ukraine and support for these efforts
