The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, stated that he had instructed diplomats to ensure the convening of urgent meetings of the UN Security Council and other international institutions following a new massive attack by Russia. This was reported by his post on X.
“I instructed all our missions to international organizations to make full use of the multilateral toolbox in response to last night’s barbaric Russian missile attack on Kyiv. UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UNESCO should provide an adequate and strong response to the aggressor, which is attempting to compensate for the lack of military advances on the battlefield with terror against civilians,” Sybiha said.
He added that Ukraine is immediately demanding the urgent convening of a UN Security Council meeting, as well as a joint meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation and the OSCE Permanent Council.
“Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings, museums, schools, and critical infrastructure. He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching IRBMs against peaceful cities. All of this requires strong and coordinated action by the international community,” the minister said.
According to the official, Ukraine is calling on partners to take decisive multilateral actions aimed at deterring Russia and forcing it toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace.
