UN Security Council to meet as Russia’s strike leaves 23 dead in Kyiv

This was announced by Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.

“The meeting is a response to another large-scale wave of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. These strikes resulted in dozens of civilian casualties, including children. We call on Security Council members to use this meeting to express support for Ukraine in the face of Russian terror and to increase pressure on the Russian aggressor,” the minister said.

Sybiha also stressed that only pressure with new sanctions can force Russia to engage in real efforts to end the war.

• On the night of August 28, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles. In Kyiv, 23 people were killed and 53 others were injured.
• U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg reacted to Russia’s strike on the capital of Ukraine, saying it threatens the peaceful settlement sought by the American president.
