Details: Sybiha emphasised that Russia "continues to escalate its terror, launching another barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles".

Quote: "The scale of Russia's daily terror against civilians demonstrates the urgency of depriving Moscow of its oil revenues, which it turns into war crimes."

Details: Sybiha said Russia "produces hundreds of means of terror per day", adding that these volumes pose a threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire transatlantic community.

Quote: "It is in our partners' best interests to hit this factory of terror as soon as possible with new strong sanctions: the 18th EU package and the Graham-Blumenthal bill. Defund Putin's death factory now."
