Today, on 4 September, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed a protest note to the chargé d'affaires ad interim of the Russian Embassy over the ongoing shelling of Ukraine.
Massive missile and combat drone attacks continue despite the international effort to halt Russia's aggression against Ukraine, including the call made by the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, of 1 September 2025 for a ceasefire leading to a just, comprehensive, and sustainable peace.
The largest recent attacks occurred on 30 August, when Russian forces fired 45 ballistic and cruise missiles and 535 drones, and on 3 September, when 24 cruise missiles and 502 drones were deployed. On 4 September, shelling of the city of Kostiantynivka resulted in the deaths of 8 civilians and damage to residential buildings and a hospital.
