Sybiha: Russia undermines diplomacy with terror attacks
Kyiv, 22 February (Hibya) - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that Russia carried out attacks against Ukraine using hypersonic, ballistic and cruise missiles as well as “Shahed”-type unmanned aerial vehicles, calling on the international community for stronger sanctions.
Foreign Minister Sybiha said Russia continues to weaken the diplomatic process. He reported that during the night, Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and civilian settlements were targeted with dozens of hypersonic, ballistic and cruise missiles and hundreds of “Shahed”-type drones.
Sybiha noted that civilian casualties occurred and energy infrastructure was damaged, stating that such actions “cannot be normalized” and must be stopped.
He argued that Russia cannot shape the global system and that the international community has sufficient tools to exert pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Pointing out that the Russian economy is under strain, Sybiha called for stronger sanctions, including cutting off access to energy revenues, preventing sanctions evasion and stopping technology flows.
Sybiha claimed that if these steps are taken, Russia would be forced to stop the war.
