Ukraine initiates urgent UN Security Council meeting over Russia’s use of the Oreshnik missile

Ukraine will appeal to its international partners to demand an immediate response to Russia’s use of a medium-range ballistic missile against the Lviv region.

This was stated by Foreign Minister Andrei Sybiha.

According to him, Kyiv will initiate an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, as well as a response within the EU, the Council of Europe, and the OSCE. Sybiga emphasized that the attack near the borders of the EU and NATO poses a serious threat to security on the European continent and a challenge to the entire transatlantic community.

The Foreign Minister emphasized that Russia claims to have used an Oreshnik-type missile, and that Moscow’s attempts to justify the attack with a fictitious “assassination attempt on Putin’s residence” are yet another manifestation of lies and propaganda.

Ukraine is already informing the United States, its European partners, and international organizations through diplomatic channels. Sybiha called for increased pressure on Russia, particularly regarding its tanker fleet, oil revenues, and assets, emphasizing that this threat is global and requires a global response.

As a reminder, on the night of January 9, the Lviv region suffered a missile strike , which damaged a critical infrastructure facility. Following the attack, fires and gas outages were reported in some areas of the region. The details of the Oreshnik missile’s use are being clarified.
