Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Overnight, Russia carried out a massive strike against Ukraine, targeting ports, grain storage, energy, industry, and other infrastructure with ballistic and hypersonic missiles and combat drones. 

This is state terrorism. It does not show strength; it shows helplessness. Putin cannot and will not achieve anything on the battlefield. Instead, he is betting on terrorizing our cities, ports, and critical infrastructure. 

Proving his terror futile will bring the end of this war closer. 

Attacks on grain infrastructure, ports, and maritime routes are especially harmful not only to Ukraine, but to approximately 400 million people around the world. One hectare of Ukrainian agricultural land feeds 18 people globally. 

We call for immediate action to overcome the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s grain exports: additional routes, quotas, grain storage equipment, and joint efforts to ensure freedom of navigation along our maritime routes. 

Ahead of winter, we also call for additional support packages to strengthen Ukraine’s energy resilience. We value every contribution: air defense, generation capacity, equipment, resources, and energy imports. 

We are grateful to all our partners standing with us during this difficult time. Together, we will put an end to Russia’s war and restore peace in Europe".
