**Poland’s Foreign Minister Condemns Russia‘s Deadly Attacks on Ukraine**
In a strongly worded statement, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has condemned Russia’s recent deadly attacks on Ukrainian cities, accusing Moscow of mocking U.S.-led ceasefire efforts and escalating violence despite Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
Sikorski made the comments upon arrival at a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg on April 14. He expressed his outrage over Russia’s refusal to implement a full ceasefire, saying that Ukraine had unconditionally agreed to a truce over a month ago.
“Ukraine unconditionally agreed to a ceasefire over a month ago. The heinous attacks on Kryvyi Rih and Sumy are Russia’s mocking answer,” Sikorski said.
**Russia’s Aggression Continues**
The recent attacks on Ukraine have resulted in significant loss of life and destruction, with at least 34 people killed and many more injured in the northeastern city of Sumy. The Russian military has also been accused of using cluster munitions, which have increased the devastation and harm to civilians.
The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, expressed his condolences to the victims of the attack, but failed to condemn Russia’s actions or call for increased sanctions on Moscow.
**Ukraine’s President Warns of Russian Empire Revival**
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia’s ultimate goal is to revive the Russian Empire and reclaim territories currently under NATO protection. He believes that this could escalate into a world war.
“Putin’s ultimate goal is to revive the Russian Empire and reclaim territories currently under NATO protection… Considering all of this, I believe it could escalate into a world war,” Zelensky said.
**European Union Foreign Ministers Meet in Luxembourg**
The European Union foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg on April 14 to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, including a possible monitoring mission under the “coalition of the willing”. The meeting will focus on upholding peace in the Black Sea after a potential ceasefire.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, the international community must come together to put pressure on Russia to cease its aggressive actions and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
