This is unacceptable, – US Ambassador to Ukraine
Ambassador Extraordinary of Ukraine to the United States Bridget Brink stressed that Russia’s actions in this way are unacceptable. Moscow attacked Odessa even before a day had passed since the signing of the export agreements.
The Kremlin continues to use food as a weapon. Russia must be held accountable,” Brink said.
Paul Massaro, senior adviser to the US Congress, is also convinced that Russia is always lying. The politician stressed that Moscow would never comply with any agreements. The only way out of the situation is the victory of Ukraine. After that, Ukraine will need to be armed to the teeth so that it can deter the aggressor.
The EU strongly condemned the attack on Odessa
British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons also noted that it had not passed 24 hours, when Russia has already violated the agreement it signed. And the EU strongly condemned the rocket attacks on the port.
This once again demonstrates Russia’s complete disregard for international law and obligations,” wrote EU High Representative Josep Borrell.
