The large-scale Russian attacks constitute “terror against civilians” and “by no means a proportionate response” to Ukraine’s “very precise” attacks on Russian military airfields, the chancellor added.
Background:
On 10 June, Russia attacked Ukraine with 322 aerial assets. Ukraine’s air defences managed to shoot down 284 of them.
It was reported that a building near the EU Delegation to Ukraine had been damaged as a result of the Russian strikes on Kyiv.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called for no delay in imposing powerful new sanctions against Russia following the large-scale airstrikes.
