Only today have rescue operations been completed at the site of one of Russia’s strikes on Ukraine on April 24. On that day, in Kyiv, the Russians, unfortunately, killed 12 of our people and nearly 90 people were injured. More than 30 people remain hospitalized, including those with severe injuries and amputations. The investigation into all the details about the missile is ongoing. However, it is already clear that it was a ballistic missile from North Korea. The lack of sufficient pressure on Russia allows them to import such missiles and other weapons – and to use them here, in Europe. The lack of sufficient pressure on North Korea and its accomplices enables, in particular, the production of such ballistic missiles. The missile that killed civilians in Kyiv contained at least 116 components sourced from other countries – and most of them, unfortunately, were manufactured by American companies. In today’s world, any war can very quickly draw in a wide range of actors, and any country that becomes a victim of aggression is never defending itself against a single entity, but against a group of accomplices. That is why it is so important for defense to be based on collective efforts as well. Ukraine is grateful to everyone around the world who is helping us protect the lives of our people, supplying us with air defense systems and missiles for them. We thank all those who continue to maintain pressure on Russia for this war – and on its accomplices. We insist that Russia must immediately and unconditionally agree to a full ceasefire. Ukraine agreed to President Trump's proposal for a ceasefire in the skies, at sea, and on the front lines 45 days ago. We offered to make it comprehensive and to extend the ceasefire that could have been established on Easter. We also made a direct proposal to Russia to at least halt strikes on civilian targets. Russia rejects all of this. That is why this cannot be resolved without pressure. Pressure on Russia is necessary. Ending the killings is the first priority.
