Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "The MFA of Ukraine building sustained light damages as a result of nearby explosions.  

This unique architectural heritage, built by Iosif Langbard in 1939, has been damaged for the first time since WWII. 

Looking at its broken windows this morning, I can state with full confidence on behalf of our entire diplomatic team: Russian terrorists will not make us stop.  

Th Ukrainian diplomacy will continue effectively fulfilling its tasks, countering Russian aggression, and bringing peace closer. 

It is also important to note that the Russian strikes targeted a historic area, the very center or the ancient Rus’.  

Yet another proof we are dealing with hordes of barbarians, not the heirs of civilisation".
