Following the Russian attack on Kremenchuk in Poltava region, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) called on the international community to impose the harshest possible sanctions on Russia and to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

This was stated in a post by the MFA on the social network X, according to Ukrinform.

“Russia cannot be stopped with words alone. It only understands the language of force. Today, the world must impose the strongest possible sanctions to force Russia into peace, as well as strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities to protect our people,” the ministry stressed.
