Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Thousands of houses are without heating in Kyiv at -15°C outside, following Russia’s mass strike overnight.

War criminal Putin continues to wage a genocidal war against women, children, and elderly. Strikes on Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, and other regions led to civilian casualties and energy infrastructure damage.  

The resilience of the Ukrainian people cannot be an excuse for this war to continue. It must end as soon as possible. 

Putin’s barbaric strike this morning is a wake up call to world leaders gathering in Davos: support for the Ukrainian people is urgent; there will be no peace in Europe without a lasting peace for Ukraine; peace can only be achieved through strength; we need urgent additional energy assistance, air defense and interceptors, as well as sanctions pressure on Moscow.
