“I express firm condemnation for the heavy Russian attack which once again hit civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, with the progressive increase in the level of armaments used. Our solidarity goes to the Ukrainian population, who for over four years has suffered the dramatic consequences of this war of aggression. We will continue to work with determination together with European and international partners to promote the path towards a just and lasting peace”. Thus Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a statement.
“Russian attacks against civilian targets in Ukraine continue, as happened last night. France condemns this attack and the use of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, which above all demonstrate a further form of escalation and the dead end of the Russian war of aggression”, writes French President Emmanuel Macron on X. “Our determination to continue to support Ukraine, to do everything possible for a just and lasting peace and to strengthen the security of Europe only grows stronger,” he underlined.
