Russia deliberately launched a massive attack on Ukraine tonight, sending hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles into Ukrainian cities. Kyiv suffered the most from the attack today.
This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga.
Sibiga on the purpose of Putin's attack on Ukraine on June 17
“Putin is doing this deliberately, right during the G7 summit. He is sending a signal of complete disrespect to the United States and other partners who have called for an end to the killings,” the diplomat said.
According to him, Russia is not only rejecting a ceasefire or a meeting of leaders to find solutions, but is also cynically attacking Kyiv while pretending to seek diplomatic solutions.

“Putin's goal is very simple: to make the G7 leaders look weak. Only decisive steps and real pressure on Moscow can prove that he is wrong,” Sibiga summed up.
On the night of June 17, the Russian Federation launched 472 air attack weapons against Ukraine – 440 drones and 32 missiles. Air defense systems neutralized 428 enemy targets.
On June 16, the G7 summit began in Alberta, Canada, and will last until Tuesday, June 17, inclusive.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for 1,210 days.
