“Today I had a meeting with Timmy Dooley and Billy Kelleher in the walls of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. We continue our cooperation with the EU and its representatives. We talked about Ukraine, terror, missiles launched by the Russian Federation, cruelty, about those who are guilty of this, as well as responsibility for committed crimes. The Ukrainian side believes that the international community should urgently and decisively respond to Russian terrorism,” wrote the First Deputy Chief of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

“Ukraine, like no other, is interested in establishing peace and ending the unprovoked destructive war started by Russia. In order for peace to be truly sustainable, it must be based on clear criteria, in particular, the restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders and the prevention of further escalation, which is possible only in the event of the destruction of the Kremlin’s war machine,” added Oleksandr Kornienko.
