Kryvyi Rih attack: UN must react

Another Russian terror attack — brutal in its consequences — targeted innocent Ukrainian children with a missile strike in Kryvyi Rih. This should snap back to reality those still lost in the performance of “negotiation efforts.”

The RUSSIANS don’t want peace — not even a real ceasefire. This isn’t just an ENEMY. This is a cynical, insidious ENEMY.

Yes, international institutions — including the UN Security Council — have proven impotent when it comes to Russia’s war against Ukraine. But it’s still crucial to formally state from this platform what these barbarians have done.

France holds the UN Security Council presidency this month. It’s the right time to reach out to European partners at the UN, push for this meeting, prepare for it properly, and hold it in the coming week.

Hopefully, our Foreign Ministry has already started this process and is following through.

And in the absence of an official Ukrainian representative to the UN, it would make sense for either First Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsia or another equally experienced diplomat to speak at the meeting.
