Quote: “Russia’s massive missile attack is a response to everyone who called and visited Putin recently to ask for peace. He only wants war. We must increase the price of war for him.”

Details: Sybiha said Tuesday marked the 1,000th day since Russia’s full-scale invasion began, although in general Russian aggression against Ukraine has been going on for more than 10 years.

“A thousand days of resistance to all-out war is a huge price to pay for a nation that simply wants to be free and live a normal life,” Sibiga said.

Sybiha stressed that international attempts to achieve peace through dialogue have failed. Instead, Russia is using energy as a weapon, posing a threat not only to Ukraine but also to global security. He called for the consolidation of international efforts and the development of new mechanisms to deter the aggressor.

The minister also drew attention to Russia’s deepening military alliances with rogue states such as Iran and North Korea.

Sybiha said Ukraine has evidence that Russia began using thermobaric warheads on Iran’s Shahed drones to cause maximum destruction.

Background:

• It was previously announced that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga will visit Washington on Tuesday, November 19 and meet with representatives of the State Department and the US Congress.
