Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting civilians in Kyiv and other areas.
Yesterday’s Russian maximalist demands for Ukraine to withdraw from its regions, combined with these brutal strikes, show that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace. Moscow, not Kyiv, is where pressure should be applied.
Ukraine's capital experienced a particularly horrible and loud night. As of now, 9 civilian people have been reported killed in Kyiv and over 70 injured, including 6 children.
Other cities and communities across Ukraine were targeted with Russian missiles and drones in the middle of the night, killing and injuring civilians.
Putin demonstrates through his actions, not words, that he does not respect any peace efforts and only wants to continue the war. Weakness and concessions will not stop his terror and aggression. Only strength and pressure will.

@ZelenskyyUA
’s historic visit to South Africa, I had a separate bilateral meeting with my counterpart,
@RonaldLamola
. We continued our excellent dialogue.
I informed Minister Lamola about the peace efforts, including the most recent meetings in Paris and London, and Ukraine’s steps toward peace. We want to end this war this year. And we are working with partners to achieve it.
We discussed in detail how to advance Ukraine and South Africa's mutually beneficial bilateral partnership, and we are eager to expand cooperation in all areas, including food security, agricultural technology, education, and digitalization.
We value South Africa’s G20 presidency and support its priorities of greater equity in global governance and increasing the prominence of Africa’s development agenda.

I appreciate Finland's strong leadership in the OSCE and my colleague
@elinavaltonen
's principled stance as OSCE Chairperson-in-Office. Russia's total disregard for OSCE principles and the Helsinki Final Act requires a strong response from the international community.

Very clear words from my Latvian colleague and friend
@Braze_Baiba
. Russia must be forced to peace. Ukraine must be stengthened to protect itself. Grateful to Latvia for its strategic vision and readiness to step up support for Ukraine.

I am grateful to
@UNHumanRights
for the clear and principled statement on Russia’s large-scale missile and drone attacks across Ukraine.
The latest strike on Kyiv was part of a systemic Russian terror campaign against civilians, which Moscow escalated in April.
We must put an end to it by increasing pressure on the aggressor and bolstering Ukraine’s air defense capabilities

Today in Pretoria, I had the pleasure of meeting with students, professors, and leadership of South Africa's top universities.

I am glad to see South African students showing such strong interest in Ukraine.
I appreciate
@UPTuks

@BudrysKestutis
. The difference couldn’t be clearer. Ukraine seeks peace, while Russia seeks war and terror against civilians. The recipe for advancing a fair peace is to put more pressure on the aggressor and strengthen Ukraine's ability to protect its people.
