Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "The moment the US President’s peace envoys left, Putin launched another massive, horrific attack against Kyiv, damaging residential areas and killing at least two people.

His ballistic missiles speak louder than his words on diplomacy. Strike after strike on residential buildings brings him no closer to winning this war—it is nothing but senseless terror.

This proves that no decisions by our allies can be put on hold. Every delay is measured in lives.

Every interceptor provided to Ukraine now is a saved life. Missiles in stocks, including those nearing their expiry date, should work to protect Ukrainian skies.

It is also time to follow Germany’s lead and close all “Russian houses” in Europe. Russian influence networks cannot be allowed to continue operating while Russia refuses to end its war of aggression.

We urge our allies to act and increase pressure on the aggressor. Pressure on Moscow advances diplomacy—it does not obstruct it. Stronger pressure brings peace closer".
