Sybiha described Russia’s latest attacks on Ukrainian cities as “the most dangerous escalation of the war.”

He said that over 800 missiles and drones were fired overnight, civilians were killed and injured, and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, Odessa, Kremenchuk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and other cities was damaged.

The foreign minister emphasized that for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia damaged a government building in Kyiv.

Calling this situation “a serious escalation in itself,” Sybiha said: “The greatest hypocrisy is that these attacks occur at a time when President Trump’s peace efforts are intensifying.”

He stated that Moscow is choosing terror over diplomacy, and called on allies to impose severe sanctions on Russia and to immediately strengthen Ukraine’s air defense.

“The Russian war machine survives on oil and gas revenues. Cutting off these resources is the only way to stop the escalation of terror. Waiting is not a solution, action must be taken now,” Sybiha said.
