The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to Russia's most extensive attack on Ukraine on December 29. The ministry pledges continued support for our state in its struggle against aggression, according to the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The statement further notes that shortly before the end of the year, Russia has once again spread terror across Ukraine, launching over 100 missiles and drones that have destroyed, among other targets, a maternity hospital, tearing people away from their everyday lives.

"Even in 2024 we won't move an inch away from the Ukrainian side," the statement declares.
