The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha stressed that the aggressor state of russia responded to the defeat of its strategic aviation with an attack on the civilian population of Ukraine. He added that the response should be strong sanctions and strengthening of Ukraine's defense capabilities.
He wrote about this on the social network X.
"At night, russia "responded" to the destroyed planes... with an attack on the civilian population in Ukraine," the message says.
Sybiha informed that Kyiv, Lutsk, Lviv, Ternopil, Chernihiv, Kremenchuk and other cities were under enemy attack - multi-storey buildings were damaged, energy infrastructure was damaged, there are killed and wounded throughout the country.
He stressed that the difference between Ukraine and russia is that Ukraine strikes legitimate military targets - for example, planes equipped to bomb Ukrainian children. Meanwhile, russia attacks residential areas, civilians and critical infrastructure.
"It is unacceptable to put Ukraine and russia on the same page. Russia is an aggressor, and Ukraine is defending itself. Ukraine's strikes are self-defense, while russia's strikes are acts of aggression and terror," the Ukrainian Foreign Minister stressed.
Sybiha added that russia's night attack on civilians once again demonstrates that international pressure on Moscow must be increased as soon as possible.
"Russia's only argument is terror. Our response should be strong sanctions that can increase the price of war for the aggressor, and new solutions that will strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities," he concluded.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the massive shelling of the aggressor country of russia on his Telegram channel on the night of June 6. He stressed that the russians continue to strike at Ukrainian cities and must be held accountable for this.
On the night of June 6, the russian occupiers launched a combined strike on Chernihiv - they attacked with drones and ballistic missiles. A residential area was hit, houses were damaged, as well as one of the enterprises and infrastructure facilities. Four people were injured.
Russian troops also launched a combined strike on Ternopil, using strike drones and missiles. Industrial facilities and critical infrastructure facilities were hit.
In Kyiv, as a result of the night-time combined attack by the russians, there are killed and wounded, as well as significant destruction in six districts.
