Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "We proposed Moscow to extend the partial ceasefire beyond May 11th. 

Instead, this night Russia launched over 200 drones against Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure, including a kindergarten, injuring at least six and killing at least one person.

Putin’s repeated rejection of peace must have consequences for him. Stronger pressure through Ukraine’s effective long-range sanctions and our partners’ strong decisions.

It is time to strengthen our positions and force Moscow to end the war. Putin must realise that it will only get worse for him. His only option must be to stop the terror.

We call for Europe’s bigger role in the peace process, complementary to the mainstream US-led diplomatic track".
