Following a massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called on the international community to intensify pressure on Moscow.

Sybiha made the statement on social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.

He stressed that civilians were injured after Russia launched ballistic missiles targeting Kyiv and other cities, swarms of missiles and drones across multiple regions, and an aviation bomb struck a residential building in Kupiansk, Kharkiv region.

"Russia's only response to U.S. proposals for a full ceasefire so far has been to launch more missiles, drones, and bombs against Ukraine and its people. Time for more pressure on Moscow," Sybiha said.
