"The difference between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine hits legitimate military targets—such as aircraft equipped to bomb our children. Russia targets residential areas, civilians, and critical infrastructure," Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said, APA reports.
He said in a statement: "Overnight, Russia “responded” to its destroyed aircraft… by attacking civilians in Ukraine. Kyiv, Lutsk, Lviv, Ternopil, Chernihiv, Kremenchuk, and others. Multi-storey buildings hit. Energy infrastructure damaged. There are killed and wounded people throughout the country."
Sybiha said that putting Ukraine and Russia on equal footing is unacceptable: "Ukraine's strikes are self-defense, whereas Russia's are acts of aggression and terror."
Minister stressed that Russia’s overnight attack on civilians once again demonstrates that the international pressure on Moscow must be increased as soon as possible.
"Our response should be strong sanctions, which can increase the cost of war for Russia, and new decisions strengthening Ukraine’s defense," the FM emphasized.
