This was announced by Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.“Ukraine has initiated an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in response to yet another escalation of terror by Russia, which resulted in civilian deaths and destruction in Kyiv. The emergency meeting of the UN Security Council under the agenda item ‘Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine’ will take place tomorrow, August 1,” he said.The minister emphasized that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is rejecting peace efforts and seeks to prolong the war against Ukraine.“But the world has enough strength to stop him—through united pressure and a principled stance in favor of a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. Tomorrow evening’s UN Security Council session will serve as a platform to clearly articulate such firm positions,” Sybiha stressed.On the night of July 31, Russia launched a missile and Shahed drone attack on Ukraine. In Kyiv, 26 people were killed and dozens more injured as a result.
