Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Overnight, Russia brutally attacked Kyiv, Dnipro, and Odesa.

Hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles targeted energy system, depriving people of power, heating, and water. Civilians were injured, including a toddler and a 4-year-old child.

No one can close eyes to Russian terror. It is happening right now in the middle of Europe. Despite the Olympic Truce and US-led peace efforts.

The IOC attempts to shamefully ban athletes and remembrance — but it cannot ban the reality. The reality of the largest war of aggression in Europe since WWII.

Each such strike is a blow to peace efforts aimed at ending the war. Russia must be forced to take diplomacy seriously and deescalate. This can only be achieved through unity, strength, and increased pressure on Moscow".
