Foreign diplomats visit sites of Russian strikes in Kyiv

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, together with representatives of more than 70 foreign diplomatic missions in Ukraine, visited locations hit by Russian strikes in Kyiv and laid flowers in memory of the victims.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"We call on the international community to respond strongly to Russian terror. Clear signals are needed to Moscow that we are united, that we will respond firmly, that Ukraine will receive additional air defense systems and missiles, and that Ukraine will definitely become a member of the EU. At these strike sites, we clearly see how the enemy responds to peaceful efforts by Ukraine and its allies. Therefore, increased pressure on Moscow is necessary," Sybiha said while addressing the foreign diplomats.
