Ukraine strongly condemns the assassination attempt against the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq Mustafa Al-Kadhimi on November 7, 2021.

We are convinced that such acts of terror and violence will not impede embodiment of the aspirations of the Iraqi people and will not stop their government's efforts to build a sovereign, democratic and prosperous state.

We call on Iraqi political forces to exercise restraint, continue the dialogue and ensure realization of the will of the Iraqi people reflected in the results of the recent parliamentary elections.
