Ukraine's Foreign Minister Demands Stronger Action Against Russia Following Maternity Hospital Strike.

Andrii Sybiha's Statement on the Attack

According to UATV: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has called for increased international pressure on Russia following a strike on a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia on February 1, 2023. The attack injured six people. This assault was part of a larger wave of aggression, as the Russian military launched 90 attack drones against Ukraine during the night of February 1st. This incident is a stark reminder of the ongoing war's severe impact on civilian infrastructure and vulnerable populations.

Types of Drones Used in the Assault

The types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed in the attack included:

• Shahed
• Gerbera
• Italmas
• others

Sybiha stressed the urgent need to intensify pressure on Moscow, stating that

“only force can compel it to cease its aggression and terror.”

“there must be no pauses in pressuring Moscow and supporting Ukraine.”

This event illustrates the persistent and escalating military hostilities between Ukraine and Russia. The Foreign Minister's appeal to the international community reflects Ukraine's ongoing efforts to secure more robust support to counter Russian aggression and protect its citizens.
