Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha provided information about the emergency meeting to be held by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Drawing attention to the timing of the meeting and its main agenda items, Sybiha said, “Tomorrow, on Ukraine’s Independence Day, the UN Security Council will convene to address the consequences of Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine. The discussion will focus on Russia’s relentless and escalating missile and drone terror against civilians across Ukraine.”

Recalling attacks on civilian areas, Sybiha said, “Friday’s double strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, which killed 16 people and injured 130, including more than 20 children, was a horrific reminder that Russia deliberately targets families, rescuers and critical civilian infrastructure.”

Referring also to risks to global food security, Sybiha said, “We will also address Russia’s continued attacks on Ukrainian ports and its obstruction of grain exports; these actions are deepening the global food crisis and endangering millions of people far beyond Ukraine’s borders.”
