Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that the incident demonstrated the urgent need to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and assessed the consequences of the attacks carried out across the country.

Referring to the cross-border aspect of the attack, Sybiha said, "As part of Russia's large-scale attack against Ukraine, a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile entered Poland overnight, violating NATO airspace. This is yet another clear example showing that strengthening Ukraine's air defense is an urgent necessity and serves as a guarantee for protecting the entire Euro-Atlantic community."

Commenting on the amount of munitions used and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Sybiha stated, "Overall, 74 missiles, most of them ballistic, and hundreds of drones targeted Ukraine. War criminal Putin continues to wage war against women and children."

Detailing the destruction and casualties caused by the attacks, Sybiha concluded: "In the Dnipro region, a direct missile strike on an ordinary home killed two parents and their three children. Two more children were rescued from the rubble. Another missile destroyed residential apartment buildings in Lviv, injuring dozens of people, including children."
