According to Interfax-Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga has instructed Ukrainian missions to international organizations to demand an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council and a joint meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation and the OSCE Permanent Council in connection with Russia’s missile strike on Kyiv.
“I have instructed all our missions to international organizations to make full use of multilateral instruments in response to yesterday’s barbaric Russian missile strike on Kyiv. The UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UNESCO must provide an adequate and decisive response to the aggressor, who is attempting to compensate for the lack of military progress on the battlefield with terror against the civilian population,” he wrote on social media.
Sibiga stated that Ukraine is demanding an immediate and urgent convening of a UN Security Council meeting and a joint session of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation and the OSCE Permanent Council.
“Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking the civilian population and destroying residential buildings, museums, schools, and critical infrastructure. He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching missiles from a reconnaissance missile system against peaceful cities,” the minister emphasized.
According to him, all of this requires decisive and coordinated action by the international community.
“We call on our partners to take decisive multilateral action aimed at deterring Russia and compelling it to accept a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace,” the foreign minister stressed.
