On September 1 in Brussels, a special session of the Ukraine–NATO Council is planned. Kyiv has initiated the meeting in response to massive Russian attacks and attempts to escalate the situation at the front. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga said on the X social network that the agenda will include joint steps and coordination of actions to pressure Moscow for refusing peaceful efforts and escalating terror against civilians.
“We are grateful to NATO and all allies who continue to demonstrate resolute support for Ukraine and meaningful peaceful efforts. Moscow must feel stronger pressure as a consequence of the continuation of the war,”
