Ukraine strongly condemns the deadly missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which killed 12 people and injured 309. We extend our deepest condolences to the leadership and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to the families of those killed in this brutal attack, and to the countries whose citizens were among the victims. We wish a swift recovery to all the injured. Attacks on civilian infrastructure are a flagrant violation of the fundamental principles of international law, including international humanitarian law. Ukraine stands in solidarity with the Kingdom and reaffirms its unwavering support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. @FaisalbinFarhan 🇺🇦🇸🇦

The coward in Moscow, who is afraid to meet with President Zelenskyy to end the war, continues to wage a war against civilians. Russia unleashed the largest number of ballistic missiles since the start of the war — around four dozen — in a brutal terrorist attack on the Ukrainian capital, killing and injuring people. We urge appropriate and strong responses. We need devastating pressure on Moscow to end this terror. There can be no pauses in increasing sanctions and isolation of Russia. The 21st EU package must be unblocked now. There can be no pauses in the protection of life. Agreements on additional interceptors must be implemented without delay. Everyone who is holding back these vital protection tools from delivery should know that the cost of delay is measured in human lives. There can be no pauses in our joint work to develop European protection from ballistic terror. We rely on anti-ballistic coalition to advance its work quickly. There can be no decisions to whitewash Russia’s war crimes by restoring its rights in international sports competitions. The blood of Ukrainians is on the hands of the sports bureaucrats taking such immoral steps. Putin will not be stopped through appeasement. He will go further unless he is stopped by strength now. Provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to stop Russia and end the war.

Pleased to meet with H.E. Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Sabah, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait. We discussed our bilateral cooperation and exchanged views on the recent developments in the Middle East, Ukraine, and worldwide. I reiterated our condemnation of Iranian attacks against Kuwait and other Gulf states, Ukraine’s solidarity, and readiness to further fulfil our role as a reliable security partner. I also invited my Kuwaiti colleague to pay a visit to Ukraine.
