Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: “Odesa, our beautiful port city at the Black Sea, suffered one of the most horrible Russian attacks overnight. Missiles and drones targeting critical infrastructure, energy, civilians. Other regions and communities have been under attack as well, including Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions. Many people remain without power. 450 attack drones and 30 missiles of various types — this is Russia’s true “willingness” to end the war. These are almost five hundred arguments for our partners not to delay any important decisions: increased sanctions on Russia, additional defense and energy resilience support for Ukraine, and the Reparations Loan. All of these steps advance peace through strength. All of them strengthen us at the battlefield and at the negotiation table. They need to be taken as soon as possible”.
