Today, millions of Ukrainians woke up to the loud sounds of explosions. I wish these sounds of explosions in Ukraine could be heard everywhere in the world. In all major capitals, headquarters and parliaments where further support for Ukraine is being discussed. And in all the newsrooms where they write about "fatigue" or russia's alleged readiness to "negotiate." These sounds are what Russia really wants to say

- Kuleba emphasized.

He also emphasized that the targets of the russian missiles were maternity homes, schools, hospitals and residential facilities. According to him, only greater firepower of Ukraine can force Russia to stop this terror. 

Our only collective response can and should be strong and long-term military and financial assistance to Ukraine

- Minister  of Foreign Affairs is convinced.

Addendum

According to a statement by Ukraine's Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin, at least 16 people have been killed in the largest night attack on Ukraine by russians. Another 97 people were injured, including two children.

At the same time, law enforcement officials emphasize that  debris removal and liquidation of the consequences of the russian missile attack are ongoing throughout Ukraine, so the number of victims may vary.
