Ukraine has requested urgent meetings of the United Nations Security Council and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) following a missile strike on Kyiv, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has stated.

According to him, the UN, OSCE, Council of Europe and UNESCO must give an adequate and decisive response to Russia, which is trying to compensate for the lack of military success on the battlefield with terror against the civilian population.

“We immediately request an urgent UN Security Council meeting and a joint meeting of OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation and OSCE Permanent Council,” he noted.

He made it clear that Vladimir Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings, museums, schools and critical infrastructure.

“He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching IRBMs against peaceful cities. All of this requires strong and coordinated action by the international community. We urge our partners to resolute multilateral actions aimed at deterring Russia and compelling it toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace,” the Ukrainian FM added.
