Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Russian terrorists struck critical civilian infrastructure, particularly energy, across Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles. I urge all partners to respond strongly.
Putin did this on October 10th—the anniversary of the first massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in 2022.
This is a deliberate demonstration that he has not changed his aggressive actions, terrorist methods, and ultimatums in three years, and he continues to reject any meaningful diplomacy and peace efforts.
Russia is worse than HAMAS. Even HAMAS has agreed to a ceasefire and peace efforts. To the contrary, Moscow continues the senseless war it began—the war it cannot and will not win.
As a result of this massive strike, a 7-year-old boy was killed in Zaporizhzhia, and dozens more civilians have been injured across the country.
In Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and other regions, many people remain without power following Russian strikes on civilian energy objects.
Our energy workers are true heroes, who are now working to restore power, but we also require increased energy assistance from our partners.
Depriving people of energy amid dropping autumn temperatures amounts to genocide under Article II (c) of the Genocide Convention: creating unbearable conditions of life in order to destroy a national group.
Pressure on Moscow is the only recipe that can work, but it needs to be strong and consolidated.
Economic pressure of biting sanctions, military pressure of stronger support for Ukraine, and political pressure of full isolation.
Putin must feel that the cost of continuing the war exceeds the cost of stopping it. He must feel that continuing this war endangers his regime".
