“In addition to our civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, the building of the Embassy of Qatar was damaged overnight by a Russian drone.

The president called for a “clear response from the world,” first and foremost from the United States. He emphasized that Russia must receive unmistakable signals that it has an obligation to focus on diplomacy and face consequences each time it instead chooses killing and the destruction of infrastructure.
The president added that the attack serves as a stark reminder to all of Ukraine’s partners that providing air defense systems to Ukraine must remain a constant priority.
