Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Over the past day and night, Russia carried out a massive terrorist attack against Ukraine with almost 700 drones, dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles.

The attack primarily targeted civilians.

At least 4 people were killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old child, with over 50 more injured, 8 killed in Odesa, 3 killed and three dozen injured in Dnipro, 1 killed in Zaporizhzhia.

Such attacks cannot be normalised. These are war crimes that must be stopped and their perpetrators held to account.

We urge the international community to take immediate action. 

All decisions required to increase pressure on the aggressor must be unblocked now. It is immoral, counterproductive, and dangerous to delay sanctions against Russia or packages of support for Ukraine.

Any day of further inaction on critical decisions sends wrong signals and encourages the aggressor to continue, prolong, and expand the war.

We reiterate our call for all states to join the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine by notifying the Council of Europe of the intent to join its Enlarged Partial Agreement. 

The most appropriate response to Russian terror is the inevitability of justice for the leadership of the Russian terrorist regime".
