Quote: "Russia once again proves that it is not seeking peace. Its goal is to sow fear. But Russia will face only our fury and inevitable retribution.

Our response will be harsh. We will destroy the occupiers, their military facilities, weapons, and equipment – wherever they may be.

Russian war crimes have no statute of limitations. The perpetrators must be brought to justice."

Details: The General Staff noted that "having failed to achieve strategic success on the battlefield, the enemy is once again resorting to its typical tactics – targeting civilians and grossly violating international law, as well as the laws and customs of war".
