Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha: “The degree of Russia’s contempt for peace efforts: a massive missile and drone strike against Ukraine just before the next round of negotiations in Geneva. The primary targets are energy and civilian infrastructure.

Moscow understands only the language of pressure. It will not take diplomacy seriously unless it is backed by strength.

New sanctions packages are crucial. Blocking the shadow fleet. Banning maritime services. Imposing entry bans on those involved in Russia’s aggression.

Only our unity and strength will bring this war to an end”.
