Quote: "Putin escalates terror against Ukraine. Today was the second mass missile strike in just four days. Civilian infrastructure has been damaged; people, including children, have been injured and killed.

We expect all states to strongly condemn the attack and take resolute action."

Details: Kuleba thinks the world could implement five measures right now:

  • expedite the delivery of additional air defence systems and ammunition to Ukraine;
  • provide Ukraine with combat drones of all types;
  • provide Ukraine with long-range missiles with a range of over 300 km;
  • approve the use of frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine;
  • isolate Russian diplomats in relevant capitals and international organisations.

"The terrorist regime in Moscow must realise that the international community will not turn a blind eye to the murder of civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine," Kuleba stressed.

Background: 

  • Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine on the morning of 2 January. Missile debris has crashed in the Pecherskyi, Obolonskyi, Holosiivskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts of the city of Kyiv. There were also hits in Kharkiv.
