Позначка: Міністерство закордонних справ

Last night, Russia launched a horrific massive attack that struck multiple regions of Ukraine, including the city of Chernivtsi.

Russian drones and missiles that attacked the city on the night of July 12 took the lives of 26-year-old Diana Kravchenko, the manager of a pharmacy in Chernivtsi, and 43-year-old Sviatoslav Lazarenko, an employee of the Sniatyn City Council.

Eternal memory to the fallen.

Every strike against our people demands a decisive response from our partners: devastating sanctions, measures to block all circumvention, including through “shadow fleet”, lowering the oil price cap, and applying pressure on Kremlin accomplices who help it kill civilians in Ukraine.

Yesterday, Russia launched a record attack on Ukraine with 741 aerial weapons. Today, it struck again – hitting Kyiv, killing two women and injuring at least sixteen people, damaging homes and infrastructure across the city.
This keeps happening because Russia felt unpunished yesterday – and still believes it can strike again tomorrow. It must be stopped.
Additional funding for interceptor drones and air defense for Ukraine is essential. There’s also an urgent need to accelerate investments in the Ukrainian weapons production and technological development.
It’s crucial to tighten sanctions on Russia. The goals are clear. Russia won’t stop unless it’s forced to.

Russia invaded Ukraine to destroy our independence, erase our culture, and rewrite our future. But Ukrainians refused to surrender.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians took up arms to protect our country’s sovereignty, language, culture, and democratic future. They left their homes – to protect them.

No one wants peace more than Ukraine – a peace that allows life to flourish, communities to rebuild, and children to dream of the future with confidence.
We are committed to achieving it.

Mass killings, immense destruction, and forced deportations turned Mariupol into a symbol of atrocity.

In the spring of 2022, Russia killed thousands of civilians in the city – the exact death toll remains unknown. Residential neighborhoods were flattened. The maternity hospital and the Drama Theater – clearly marked as sheltering children – were deliberately bombed.

These are not stories of the distant past. These are war crimes of our time. Documented. Witnessed. Unpunished.

Justice must come – for Mariupol, for every life stolen, for every crime.

No one wants peace more than Ukraine – a peace that allows life to flourish, communities to rebuild, and children to dream of the future with confidence.
We are committed to achieving it.

Explosions. Fires raging in residential districts. Air alerts in the middle of the night. This is what Russia brings to Ukrainian cities. Last night in Kyiv, more than 20 people were injured.

Russia won’t change its destructive course on its own. For every strike against civilians and everyday life, there must be consequences – sanctions that hit Russia’s economy, its profits, and the infrastructure fueling its war. That’s the only fast way to shift the situation and reduce these attacks.

This depends on our partners – above all, on the United States. We need decisive action now to make Russia feel real costs for its aggression.

There must be #NoCashForRussianCrimes.

Warning: This video contains multiple explosion sounds.

Three years of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.

Three years filled with the sounds of air raid sirens and the blasts of Russian missiles. Three years of Ukrainian resilience and the pursuit of a common goal – a just and lasting peace.

Ukrainians continue to fight for freedom and the right to determine their own future. The sounds of unity, justice, and gratitude must grow louder.

Stand with Ukraine.
