Sybiha: Russia must face real strength or terror will continue

Ukrinform
Moscow must be confronted with real strength, sanctions, and unity — otherwise, Russia will continue its terror campaign against Ukraine's civilian population.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha made this statement on the social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

He stressed that Russia continued its campaign of terror against Ukraine and Ukrainians overnight, launching 103 drones and a ballistic missile. The regions of Donetsk, Kharkiv, Odesa, Sumy, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson were all targeted, resulting in deaths and injuries.

"Russia does not seek peace. It issues ultimatums and targets civilians. Every day that passes without sufficient pressure and strong responses encourages Russia to commit new crimes. Instead, Moscow must face real strength, sanctions, and unity," Sybiha said.

President Volodymyr Zelensky also commented on the attack, stating that when Russia does not feel strong enough condemnation and pressure from the world, it kills again.
