“Despite all the efforts of diplomacy and peace, Russia continues to kill civilians,” said Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, in a position on social networks. “Russia is a murderous war machine that Ukraine is stopping.

Putin will commit demonstrative murders to maintain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as to humiliate diplomatic efforts,” Zelenskyy said. “It is precisely why we are looking for assistance to end the murders. That is why reliable security guarantees are required. That is why Russia should not be rewarded for its participation in this war. War must end. And it is Moscow that must listen to the word:” Stop. “
