EU defence ministers to discuss pressure on Russia as Kaja Kallas accuses Putin of mocking peace efforts
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that at least 23 people were killed in yesterday’s Russian attacks on Kyiv, including 22 people on a single site in the city’s Darnytskyi district.
More than 50 people were injured, and 8 people are still missing.
“When instead of diplomacy Russia chooses ballistics, continues to modernize ‘shaheds’ for killing, and deepens cooperation with actors like North Korea, it means the world must respond accordingly.
Strong sanctions, strong pressure, strong steps are needed so that the murderers do not feel impunity.”
“These attacks show that Putin is just mocking any kind of peace efforts that are made. So what we have to do is increase pressure on Russia.”
