No pause in tightening sanctions: Sybiha calls for 'devastating pressure' on Russia after massive attack on Kyiv

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for "crushing pressure" on Russia following its latest large-scale missile attack on Kyiv.

He stated this on the social network X, Ukrinform reports.

"The coward in Moscow, who is afraid to meet with President Zelensky to end the war, continues to wage a war against civilians," the foreign minister said.

According to Sybiha, during the attack on the Ukrainian capital, Russia used the largest number of ballistic missiles since the beginning of the war — around forty.

"We urge appropriate and strong responses. We need devastating pressure on Moscow to end this terror. There can be no pauses in increasing sanctions and isolation of Russia. The 21st EU package must be unblocked now," Sybiha said.
