Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Another night of Russian terror in Ukraine. Kyiv and Odesa under heaviest attacks by hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles.
Russians struck a maternity ward and ordinary residential buildings, killing and injuring civilians.
Russia rejects any meaningful peace efforts and must face new, devastating sanctions. Already now. There is no more time to wait.
Energy, including a lower oil price cap, banking, and secondary sanctions are among the most sensitive areas.
These sanctions are not just intended to support Ukraine. They are essential to our partners. Such economic restrictions defund Russia's war machine, which is directed not only at us, but also at them.
Equally important are steps to strengthen Ukraine, especially additional supplies of air defense capabilities."
