Ukraine is urgently convening a meeting of the UN Security Council and the NATO-Ukraine Council because of the russian aggressor country's Oreshnik strike on the Lviv Region. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has stated this.
"Russia claims it used an intermediate range ballistic missile, so-called “Oreshnik”, against Lviv region. Such a strike close to EU and NATO border is a grave threat to the security on the European continent and a test for the transatlantic community. We demand strong responses to Russia’s reckless actions," Sybiha wrote on X.
He added that Ukraine is informing the United States, European partners, as well as all countries and international organizations about the details of the strike through diplomatic channels.
"It is absurd that Russia attempts to justify this strike with the fake “Putin residence attack” that never happened. Another proof that Moscow does not need any real reasons for its terror and war. Putin uses an IRBM near EU and NATO border in response to his own hallucinations — this is truly a global threat. And it demands global responses," the Foreign Minister added.
Sybiha emphasized that more decisive steps are needed against the russian tanker fleet - and the US is right to take action here - as well as against russian oil revenues, oil schemes and assets, not only in the EU but around the world.
"We urge all responsible states and international organizations to call out Russian lies and increase pressure on the aggressor without delay. We will be initiating international action — an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, as well as responses within the EU, Council of Europe, and OSCE," he said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the night of January 8, the aggressor country russia launched a missile attack on Lviv and the region, using a ballistic missile traveling at a speed of about 13,000 kilometers per hour. A critical infrastructure facility came under attack.
