Ukraine's Foreign Minister says European history is being written today in ink made of Ukrainian blood, The Guardian reports.
"Unfortunately, President, me, we must start every speech with the same words that today Kyiv was again under attack, that today Ukraine was heavily attacked, we have casualties today, several or many civilian children were killed," the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, said.
Sybiha stressed that this ongoing reality is proof of the failure of the post-war international order to prevent such aggression.
"I am confident that Ukrainian security and European security, they are indivisible, that it also means collective responsibility," the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine added.
The Minister emphasized that history has never truly ended - "not after Helsinki, not after the Berlin Wall fell, and probably altogether never."
"We are writing now our history and the main ink for European history now is the blood of my compatriots, of Ukrainian people," Sybiha declared.
