Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Contrary to all efforts to end the war, Russia undertook a massive combined air strike on Ukraine overnight. Hundreds of drones, hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles on civilian and energy infrastructure. One of the missiles struck a major American electronics manufacturer in our westernmost region, leading to serious damage and casualties. A fully civilian facility that has nothing to do with defense or the military. This is not the first Russian attack on American businesses in Ukraine, after strikes on Boeing offices in Kyiv earlier this year and other attacks. No military logic or necessity, just terror against people, businesses, and normal life in our country. This is why efforts to force Russia to end the war are so critical and we reiterate Ukraine's willingness to make every effort to bring peace closer. The meetings of leaders in a bilateral Ukraine-Russia and trilateral Ukraine-U.S.-Russia formats are crucial to enable diplomacy. Equally important is the work to provide Ukraine with robust security guarantees from partners, including the United States and European allies. Overnight strikes also demonstrate the urgency of strengthening Ukraine's air defense with additional systems and interceptors".
