Sybiha stated that the missile hit one of the production buildings. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
The minister stressed that this is not a military facility, but an enterprise that has been operating since the 1990s, producing world-famous brands, providing jobs for Ukrainians, and contributing to the economies of Ukraine and the United States.
“When Russian missiles hit such sites, they are not only targeting Ukraine. They are targeting American business interests in Europe,” the foreign minister stated.
Moscow cannot speak about economic dialogue with the United States while attacking US-owned production facilities, he noted.
“Targeting peaceful industry is not warfare—it is deliberate economic terror. Accountability must follow,” Sybiha emphasized.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Ukrainian foreign minister said that Russia is deliberately striking American enterprises in Ukraine, with 47% of such companies affected during the full-scale war and 38% suffering casualties.
