Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has urged partners to respond to Russian terror by strengthening Ukraine’s energy support and defense capabilities.

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy wrote this on social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.

“No one in the world wants this war to continue except Russia. Absurdly, this country currently presides over the UN Security Council in October 2025 – although its very presence at the UNSC is illegal,” Sybiha emphasized.

He noted that the latest Russian air attacks on Ukraine targeted critical infrastructure, power grids, railways, and ordinary residential buildings in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy, and other regions, resulting in deaths and injuries.

“Russian terror can and should be stopped. Through collective action. Stronger sanctions pressure. Stronger energy support and defense capabilities for Ukraine,” the minister stressed.

Sybiha emphasized that “sufficient long-range strength will allow us to deprive Russia of its means of terror — right at the places of their production and launch.”
