Ukrinform
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for increased pressure on Russia after the Russian army attacked a residential building in Kharkiv.

According to Ukrinform, the minister wrote about this on the social network X.

“Russia is a terrorist state. There can be no easing of restrictions against Russian murderers while they continue to kill Ukrainian children in their sleep,” he wrote. 

He stressed that sanctions or bans on international and cultural events should not be weakened. The foreign minister noted that the regime in Moscow not only terrorizes Ukraine but also spreads terror throughout the world. This regime “helps Iran murder and destroy” and “strengthens the DPRK and its ability to threaten the region,” he added.

“Pressure on Russia must be increased in order to restore a lasting peace for Ukraine and for the sake of international peace and security,” Sybiha stated.
