The Russian morning missile attack on Ukraine, which targeted Kyiv among other areas, is a clear sign that Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin does not seek peace.

Details : Sybiha called on the world community to put maximum economic and military pressure on Russia in order to achieve peace through strength.

Quote : "A very loud night across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, where at least three people were killed in a heinous Russian ballistic attack. Yet another proof that Putin wants war, not peace. He must be forced to accept a just peace through strength – maximum economic and military pressure."
