Russia’s Attack on Kyiv During G7 Shows Moscow’s Disregard for the US, Says Ukraine’s FM

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, commenting on Russia’s latest large-scale attack on Ukraine on June 17, underscored that Moscow deliberately launched the strikes during the Group of Seven summit.

“Putin does this on purpose, just during the G7 summit. He sends a signal of total disrespect to the United States and other partners who have called for an end to the killing, ‘ Sybiha wrote on his account on X.

The minister also noted that Moscow rejects calls for a ceasefire while continuing to launch strikes on Kyiv.

“Russia not only rejects a ceasefire or a leaders' meeting to find solutions and end the war. It cynically strikes Ukraine’s capital while pretending to seek diplomatic solutions,” Sybiha added.

“Putin’s goal is very simple: make the G7 leaders appear weak. Only strong steps and real pressure on Moscow can prove him wrong.”

On June 17, a massive overnight missile and drone strike on Kyiv killed at least 14 people, including a 62-year-old US citizen identified as Grendy Frederick Glenn, and injured more than 99.
