European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemns the latest Russian attack in Ukraine, calling for immediate action to secure a ceasefire.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated this morning that Russian brutality has struck Ukraine once again, killing men, women, and children in the city of Sumy.
In a post on platform X, she described the attack as “barbaric and despicable.”
“This latest escalation is a grim reminder: Russia was and remains the aggressor, in blatant violation of international law,” von der Leyen said.
She emphasized that urgent and strong measures are needed to enforce a ceasefire. “Europe will continue to engage with partners and maintain strong pressure on Russia until the bloodshed ends and a just and lasting peace is achieved, on Ukraine’s terms,” she added.
Von der Leyen also reaffirmed that Europe stands with Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelensky.
