Sybiha on Russian massive attack after Putin spoke with Trump: Kremlin does it on purpose

Ukrinform
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, commenting on Russia's large-scale attack, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin deliberately did it after a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy said this in a post on the social network X, as reported by Ukrinform.

“Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv. One of the worst so far. Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital. Right after Putin spoke with President Trump. And he does it on purpose. Enough of waiting! Putin clearly shows his complete disregard for the United States and everyone who has called for an end to the warm,” Sybiha posted.

He emphasized that Moscow must face the toughest possible sanctions without delay, and that Ukraine must be supplied with all the necessary means to defend itself.

“Wrong decisions can only encourage the aggressor to escalate terror. Every criminal regime in the world is now watching closely Putin’s actions and responses to them. If he gets away with all of this, everyone will get a very clear message. Stop waiting for peace. Act to achieve peace. Peace through strength,” the minister added.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukraine’s air defense forces intercepted 478 aerial targets, including two Iskander-K cruise missiles launched by Russian forces since the evening of July 3. The primary target was Kyiv, where 23 people were injured in the strike, 14 of whom were hospitalized.
