Kiev [Ukraine], May 25: Ukraine is calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and a gathering of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) following massive Russian airstrikes, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Sunday.
In a statement published on X, Sybiha also called for an "appropriate and strong response to the aggressor" following the overnight attacks, which mainly targeted the Kiev region and saw the deployment of a medium-range Oreshnik ballistic missile.
Sybiha accused Russia of seeking to compensate for a lack of military progress on the battlefield in its war of aggression against Ukraine with "barbaric missile attacks."
In Kiev alone, at least two people were killed.
According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the number of injured in the capital has risen to 81.
