Ukraine's Foreign Minister on Russia's attack: Putin's response to those who called him
Russia on Sunday, November 17, carried out one of its largest airstrikes. This is the response from Russian leader Vladimir Putin to those who called and visited him, according to Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on X.
He emphasized that today Russian occupiers launched one of their most massive strikes — drones and missiles hit cities, civilians, and critical infrastructure.
"This is the real response from the war criminal Putin to those who have called and visited him recently," Sybiha noted.
The Foreign Minister added that Ukraine needs peace through force, not appeasement.
