Sybiha called on partners not to weaken sanctions against Russia after attack on Kharkiv
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stressed that sanctions against Russia cannot be lifted while the Russian Federation continues to terrorize Ukraine and support Iran and North Korea in their military actions.
According to Censor.NET, this is mentioned in a post on X.
Russia is a terrorist state.
Restrictions against Russian murderers cannot be relaxed while they continue to kill Ukrainian children in their sleep.
We must not weaken sanctions or bans on international sporting and cultural events," Sybiha wrote.
He noted that the regime in Moscow not only terrorizes Ukraine, but also spreads terror throughout the world. It helps Iran kill and destroy. It strengthens North Korea and its ability to threaten the region.
"Pressure on Russia must be increased in order to restore lasting peace for Ukraine and for the sake of international peace and security," Sybiha said.
