UN Security Council calls emergency session after Russia's deadly attacks on Ukraine

He wrote about this on his page on social network X.

"The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow evening in response to Russia's latest wave of terror and brutal attacks on Ukraine. I thank the Guyanese Presidency and other partners for supporting Ukraine's request," Sybiha said.

He expressed hope that the members of the UN Security Council "will take a principled stance against Russian strikes that resulted in multiple civilian casualties."

"We require clear signals about the need to increase pressure on the aggressor and strengthen Ukraine, including additional air defense capabilities," the head of Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Sybiha also noted that it has already been 100 days since Ukraine accepted the United States’ proposal for a complete ceasefire, which could have paved the way for a genuine peace process. However, according to the minister, Moscow continues to reject this initiative and intensifies terror against the civilian population.

He stressed that only coordinated international pressure can force Russia to choose peace over war.

"Russian aggression against Ukraine remains a grave threat to global stability. The security of Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific is directly linked because regimes in Moscow, Tehran, and Pyongyang are working together to shatter international peace and security. We must remain united and work together to counter these threats," the Ukrainian Foreign Minister concluded.

• On the night of June 17, Russia launched a combined massive strike on Ukraine, using 440 Shaheds and 32 missiles. In Kyiv, buildings in eight districts were damaged as a result of the attack. The attack claimed the lives of 28 people in Ukraine's capital. 142 residents were injured, including 6 children.
