What do you need to know?

  • Nighttime attacks on Ukraine: Russia conducted massive drone and missile attacks that resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people and injured over 30 others.
  • Yermak's statement: The head of the Ukrainian president's office, Andriy Yermak, emphasized that instead of seeking a ceasefire, Russia is responsible for civilian deaths.
  • Insufficient pressure on Moscow: Yermak believes the current level of pressure on Russia is inadequate, allowing the Kremlin to continue its military actions.

What are the effects of the nighttime attacks?

The massive attack carried out by Russia overnight from Saturday to Sunday resulted in at least 11 deaths and over 30 injuries. An air alert was issued across almost all of Ukraine. These attacks are part of Russia's ongoing aggression, which continues military actions instead of a ceasefire. In response to the attack, Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office, commented that instead of a ceasefire, there are killings, and children and civilians are dying.

Why is the pressure on Russia insufficient?

Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office, expressed concern over the lack of adequate pressure on Moscow. He believes Russia is stalling processes aimed at ending the war to continue inflicting civilian casualties. Yermak stressed that Ukraine is ready to cease fire, but Russia shows no intention of ending the conflict.

"The current pressure is not enough. Russia is slowing all processes related to ending the war to continue killing. We have been ready to cease fire for a long time, but Russia is doing everything it can to continue killing people because Putin likes it," Yermak wrote on his Telegram channel.

What does Yermak say about the future of the conflict?

Yermak warns that a quick change in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict is unlikely without decisive international action. Russia and its allies may continue building military forces, potentially leading to further attacks, not only on Ukraine but also on Western countries. Yermak noted that Moscow will fight as long as it can produce weapons.
