Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha shared the effects of the attacks on civilian and economic infrastructure in his statement.

Referring to the situation in Dnipro, Sybiha said, “Russia heavily bombarded Dnipro throughout the night, damaging residential buildings and energy infrastructure.”

Drawing attention to the commercial ship targeted in Odesa, Sybiha stated, “Odesa was also under attack, including a commercial ship belonging to China.”

Addressing the geographic spread of the attacks and the humanitarian toll, Sybiha said, “Eight regions were targeted, and many people, including children, were injured. Russia’s ongoing terror shows that our partners have no alternative but to take strong measures.”

Emphasizing that the cost of the war for Moscow must increase, Sybiha concluded: “The cost for Moscow of continuing this war must keep rising: by applying stronger pressure on Russia’s war economy and increasing support for Ukraine.”
