Russia has decided to attack civilians in Kyiv on New Year's Eve. It must be brought to justice, stated Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský.
He emphasized that the New Year is a time of peace and hope, but "Russia chose violence, attacking Kyiv and claiming an innocent life".
"So, here’s my resolution: Czech diplomacy will continue to stand firmly with Ukrainians - because peace begins with holding the aggressor accountable," Lipavský concluded.
