Details: Sybiha noted that a number of Ukrainian cities had been attacked by Russian ballistic missiles, drones and aerial bombs on the night of 5-6 April.

"Russia's only response to US proposals for a full ceasefire so far has been to launch more missiles, drones and bombs against Ukraine and its people. Time for more pressure on Moscow," he stressed.
