Ukraine will initiate an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, a session of the NATO–Ukraine Council, as well as responses within the EU, the Council of Europe, and the OSCE over Russia’s use of a medium-range ballistic missile against the Lviv region.
This was stated by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on social media platform X.
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that Russia claims it used a medium-range ballistic missile, the so-called “Oreshnik,” against the Lviv region.
“Such a strike close to EU and NATO border is a grave threat to the security on the European continent and a test for the transatlantic community. We demand strong responses to Russia’s reckless actions. … We will be initiating international action — an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, as well as responses within the EU, Council of Europe, and OSCE,” Sybiha said.
He added that Ukraine is informing the United States, European partners, as well as all countries and international organizations about the details of this dangerous strike through diplomatic channels.
“It is absurd that Russia attempts to justify this strike with the fake “Putin residence attack” that never happened. Another proof that Moscow does not need any real reasons for its terror and war,” the minister emphasized.
Sybiha noted that Putin is using a missile with a reconnaissance system near the borders of the EU and NATO in response to his own hallucinations.
“Putin uses an IRBM near EU and NATO border in response to his own hallucinations — this is truly a global threat. And it demands global responses. There needs to be more strong steps against Russian tanker fleet—and the U.S. is right to take action here—as well as Russia’s oil revenues, schemes, and its assets. Not only in the EU but across the world.,” the foreign minister stressed.
