Quote: "We proposed Moscow to extend the partial ceasefire beyond 11 May.

Instead, this night Russia launched over 200 drones against Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure, including a kindergarten, injuring at least six and killing at least one person."

Details: Sybiha believes that the fact that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin constantly rejects peace proposals must have consequences for him.

He also stressed the need to increase pressure on Russia through Ukraine's "effective long-range sanctions" and strong decisions by partners.

"It is time to strengthen our positions and force Moscow to end the war. Putin must realise that it will only get worse for him. His only option must be to stop the terror.

We call for Europe's bigger role in the peace process, complementary to the mainstream US-led diplomatic track," the foreign minister concluded.
