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.
