Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "While European leaders gather in Kyiv to strengthen our common security and Europe's future, Russia once again demonstrates what it truly stands for: terror against civilians. This is not a coincidence. It is a deliberate attempt to intimidate Ukraine, our partners, and everyone who believes in peace. 

Today alone, Russian attacks killed at least three civilians in Sumy and three more in Odesa, while injuring others there and in other Ukrainian cities. Guided aerial bombs, missiles, and drones struck residential neighborhoods, civilian infrastructure, and places where people were simply going about their daily lives. 

Russia has a predictable habit: whenever the world gathers to discuss peace for Ukraine, Moscow answers with more terror against civilians. Every such attack should have only one consequence: stronger sanctions, stronger defense packages, and stronger support for Ukraine. 

Terror must never dictate Europe's agenda. Strength, unity, and resolve must."
