Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that today’s Russian ballistic missile attack is another proof that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin does not want peace.
According to Ukrinform, the head of the Ukrainian foreign ministry wrote about this on the social network X.
“A very loud night all over Ukraine, including in Kyiv, where at least three people were killed in a terrible Russian ballistic attack. More proof that Putin wants war, not peace,” Sybiha said in a post.
He emphasized that Putin should be forced to accept a just peace through maximum economic and military pressure.
As Ukrinform reported, in Kyiv on the morning of January 18, a security guard of a catering establishment and three people who were in a minibus on the street were killed in a Russian missile attack.
The blast damaged the building of a business center, the entrance to the Kyiv subway station, and the premises of a catering establishment. Windows were blown out and the facades of residential buildings and at least 10 cars were damaged.
