The meeting, which will begin at 10:00 p.m. Kyiv time, will discuss the massive Russian attack on Ukraine carried out on August 28.

Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga called on the members of the UN Security Council to express support for Ukraine during the meeting, as well as to increase pressure on Russia through new sanctions.

“The meeting is a response to another massive wave of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine. These strikes have resulted in dozens of civilian casualties, including children,” the minister stressed.
