Russia has launched nearly 70 missiles of various types and drones against Ukraine overnight. This aggressive move is an unconditional response to ongoing realistic peace talks aimed at ending the war, believes Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
"Almost 70 missiles of various types and drones during one night. All over the territory of Ukraine... This is RF's unconditional response to any realistic peace summits (not only in Saudi Arabia), to any attempts by the world to get back to international law, to any extended discussions with the countries of the Global South," he tweeted.
The advisor further emphasized that Russia "wants to kill, disobey laws, dominate," and it is time to make a consolidated decision to end the war justly.
