MFA Finland urges Moscow to cease fire in wake of Russia’s massive strike on Ukraine

The Finnish Foreign Ministry responded to Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine by calling on the Kremlin to agree to a full and unconditional ceasefire.

The ministry published the relevant statement on X, Ukrinform reports.

The Finnish Foreign Ministry noted that dozens were killed and injured last night as a result of Russian strikes on Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine, including emergency responders. The attack took place against the backdrop of negotiations on war settlement between Ukraine and Russia.

"Our thoughts are with the loved ones (of the victims of the attack - ed.). We urge Russia to agree to a full, unconditional ceasefire," the Finnish Foreign Ministry said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, this night Russia executed a combined air raid against Ukraine using 452 aerial weapons: Shahed drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Ukraine’s defense forces intercepted 406 of the incoming targets.

Three people died and 25 were injured in the attack in Kyiv on June 6.

Four people were injured in Chernihiv, where rescuers also retrieved a body from under the rubble.

In Lutsk, rescuers found a body of a man who was killed in a strike that partially destroyed a nine-storey apartment block. Casualty toll from that attack has increased to 30.
