At the very moment when leaders of the world’s most influential countries gathered in Beijing, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched strikes on the capital of Ukraine. Entire neighborhoods in Kyiv were destroyed, with people killed and injured. Other cities and communities across the country also came under attack, UATV English informs.
According to the Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, such barbaric assaults demonstrate that the Russian regime poses a global threat to international security. Instead of peace and development, Moscow is pursuing aggression and terror.
Right at the time when the leaders of the most powerful countries meet in Beijing and the world hopes for peace, predictability, and cooperation, Putin launched hundreds of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles, at the capital of Ukraine.
This barbaric attack during such an important summit shows that the Russian regime poses a global threat to international security. Instead of peace and development, Moscow pursues aggression and terror. In Kyiv, entire blocks of residential buildings have been ruined, and there are killed and injured civilian people. Other cities and communities across the country came under strikes as well.
Putin wants this war to continue in order to prolong his control and rule over Russia. There should be no illusions or wishful thinking: only pressure on Moscow can force him to stop. I am certain that the leaders of the United States and China have enough leverage over Moscow to tell Putin to finally end the war. And this would be the greatest positive development,” Sybiha emphasized.
As reported, Russian occupying forces carried out a massive attack on Ukraine overnight on May 14, targeting Kyiv, Chernihiv region, Mykolaiv region, Kyiv region, and other regions.
