Details: The minister stated that hundreds of drones and missiles were aimed against civilians, with Kyiv suffering the worst consequences.
Quote: "Putin does this on purpose, just during the G7 summit. He sends a signal of total disrespect to the United States and other partners who have called for an end to the killing.
Russia not only rejects a ceasefire or a leaders' meeting to find solutions and end the war. It cynically strikes Ukraine's capital while pretending to seek diplomatic solutions."
