Sibiga called on the world to step up pressure on Russia following the massive attack on Ukraine
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha has appealed to the international community, urging it not to grow accustomed to the daily civilian casualties in Ukraine caused by Russian strikes and to step up pressure on Moscow.
Andriy Sybiha wrote about this on X.
In his statement, he noted that at least 16 people were killed in several Ukrainian cities during the massive attack on April 15–16, which involved the use of approximately 700 drones as well as various types of missiles.
According to him, at least four people were killed in Kyiv, eight in Odesa, three in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and one in Zaporizhzhia. Dozens of people were injured.
Sybiga emphasized that such strikes constitute war crimes and cannot be normalized.
He called on international partners to immediately adopt decisions to strengthen sanctions against Russia and support Ukraine, stressing that delay only encourages the aggressor to continue the war.
The Foreign Minister also reiterated his call to countries that have not yet joined to support the establishment of a special tribunal on Russia’s crime of aggression.
Russian troops carried out an atypical massive attack that lasted for a full day and was marked by shifting strike times and the unprecedented use of ballistic weapons.
