The attacks by the Russian Federation on Ukraine are becoming more cynical. Moscow is not interested in peaceful negotiations to resolve the war, states the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.
"For anybody believing the rumours that Russia is genuinely interested in peace talks, the record number of drones fired in the last 24 hours at Ukraine show the true intention of Moscow," the statement reads.
Mishel adds that the attacks become even more cynical, especially considering their intensity coinciding with the New Year holidays.
"Ukraine’s spirit cannot be broken. The EU stands by Ukraine," writes the President of the European Council.

Anti-air defense forces managed to intercept 72 Russian missiles. There are casualties in Kyiv due to the falling debris.
