"We condemn Russia's latest vicious strikes on critical energy and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv and across Ukraine," Cooper wrote on X (Twitter).

She emphasised the stark contrast between the actions of Kyiv and Moscow, noting that Russia is using the freezing cold weather as a weapon.

"As Ukraine shows its commitment to peace, Russia is plunging families into freezing conditions and starving them of basic necessities in the depths of winter," Cooper added.

Background:

  • Moldova's Foreign Ministry has also pointed out that Russia's attack on Ukraine on the night of 23-24 January contradicts all its claims about its commitment to peace.
  • Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys stressed that Russia's latest large-scale attack demonstrates the Kremlin's unwillingness to agree to peace.
