As long as moscow speaks the language of missiles, drones & blood — like last night — any proposal for peace sounds like a farce, writes EU ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Mathernova.
I am disgusted and shocked by russia’s actions. Is this how they want an agreement? Or they just pretend? Or is killing and attacking simply more natural to them?
Last night, russian forces struck Kyiv and several other regions of Ukraine — fighter jets launched 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones! The strikes targeted energy infrastructure, but they also hit residential buildings, apartment blocks, private homes, and entetprises. According to initial reports, at least three people were killed, 37 injured and 15 hospitalised, including children.
In the capital city, there is a massive power outage — more than 500,000 households have been without electricity since the morning. Water supply problems are increasing, and pressure in the pipes has dropped in many districts.
This is not the first time — Ukraine finds itself under fire daily. Fire not aimed at the frontline, but at civilian infrastructure. Children, women, and the elderly are suffering. Ukrainians are exhausted and in pain, and I remain deeply humbled by their proud resilience.
russia is attacking at a moment when the entire democratic world is anxiously watching discussions on a potential peace agreement, when a cold winter is arriving, and when Ukraine is shaken by internal political turmoil. Everyone wants peace — but only a peace that is just and sustainable, one that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and dignity!
Glory to Ukraine, friends! Shame on russia!
