"Today, the world once again saw Russia's response to our desire for peace with America and Europe. New showy killings. Therefore, peace without force is impossible. But to force Moscow to make peace, to force them to sit at a real negotiating table - the partners have all the tools for this. We expect that everything that is now being voiced by America and Europe for this will be implemented," he noted.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the night of July 31, Russian troops launched a combined strike on Kyiv. Due to the consequences of the shelling, several streets and avenues in the capital were temporarily blocked, and public transport was changed.
