“RUSSIA IGNORES PEACE EFFORTS”
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, in a statement made via social media, called on the international community, saying, “Russia continues to ignore any peace efforts and instead attacks critical civilian infrastructure, including our energy system and railways. This shows that decisions to strengthen Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia cannot be delayed. Especially doing this under the pretext of a peace process is not possible at all.”
