Quote: "Russia’s terror is endless. Shocking brutality in Chernihiv. Bombing civilian buildings is not only inhumane, it's a war crime. All criminals will be brought to tribunal! Estonia will not tire from supporting Ukraine," Karis stressed.

Sandu tweeted that blatant aggression against civilians should not go unpunished.

"Russia must be held accountable for its atrocities in Ukraine," she added.

The day before, Bridget Brink, US Ambassador to Ukraine, condemned the Russian missile attack on Chernihiv.
