Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: “A horrific scene.

Russia struck a residential building in Kharkiv, killing at least seven civilians, including two children. First responders continue to search for people under the rubble.

Russia is a terrorist state.

There can be no easing of restrictions against Russian murderers while they continue to kill Ukrainian children in their sleep.

No easing of sanctions or bans at international sports and culture events.

The regime in Moscow not only terrorizes Ukraine, but it also spreads terror throughout the world. It helps Iran murder and destroy. It strengthens the DPRK and its ability to threaten the region.

Pressure on Russia must be increased in order to restore a lasting peace for Ukraine and for the sake of international peace and security”.
