Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Russia deliberately attacked an ordinary shopping center in Kryvyi Rih and then struck again as emergency responders arrived. At least 14 people have been killed and over a hundred injured, including 11 children. Pure terror. 

Such barbaric double-tap strikes are intended to maximize civilian casualties. They prove Russia’s status as a terrorist state.  

Russian criminals responsible for such atrocities must be brought to account.  

We urge the world to act. Every such war crime must lead to tougher sanctions, particularly against Russia’s military-industrial complex and its enablers, and stronger defense support for Ukraine. 

Russia must be denied both the ability to produce these means of terror and the ability to use them. Sanctions and interceptors are two life-saving tools. We need both without delay."
