Ukraine calls for international pressure on Russia after deadly night attacks

Following a large-scale Russian airstrike on Ukrainian cities on the night of 24-25 May which killed at least three children, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called on the international community to ramp up pressure on Russia to force it to agree to an immediate ceasefire.

Details: Sybiha described the airstrike, which involved hundreds of drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, as one of the largest in recent weeks. The attacks caused deaths and injuries among civilians, including at least three children.

Quote from Sybiha: "When the entire world calls for an end to the killing, Putin orders even more strikes, attacks, and murders of children. This once again emphasises the imperative of a full, unconditional and durable ceasefire for any meaningful peace effort. The world must pressure Russia to accept it and put an end to the killings immediately."

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has reported that three children were killed in Zhytomyr Oblast during the attack.

Background: The airstrike prompted Poland to scramble fighter jets in response to the barrage of Russian missiles.
