The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine thanked all foreign diplomatic missions that continue to operate in Ukraine during the war and stated that it is ready to assist with additional security measures for those who submit such requests.
This was stated in a declaration by the Ukrainian ministry.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed sincere gratitude to all foreign diplomatic missions and diplomats who continue working in the country during wartime and reject Russian blackmail and threats.
The ministry noted that for more than four years Russia has been using the full range of deadly missiles and drones against Kyiv, and such strikes have hardly stopped for a single week. According to the Ukrainian side, the overall level of security threats posed by the Russian Federation to Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities remains the same as in previous years and months.
“Against this backdrop, the new Russian threats are nothing short of shameless blackmail. Moscow is effectively admitting that its shelling is aimed, among other things, at intimidating the foreign diplomatic corps. This admission will serve as valuable evidence in international legal proceedings against the aggressor state,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
The ministry added that, in order to counter Russian intimidation, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry is ready to assist in strengthening security measures for foreign diplomatic missions that request such support.
“We take this opportunity to remind all our partners and allies that the best response to the Kremlin's threats remains increasing pressure on the aggressor and boosting support for Ukraine, particularly by strengthening air defense capabilities. Moscow must receive the correct and consolidated signals from the international community: unity, strength, and principles,” the Foreign Ministry stressed.
