By launching a new massive strike of drones and missiles against Ukrainian cities and civilians—the largest in the past four years—Russia is further compounding the outrage of its aggression.
It lays bare all the hypocrisy with which it negotiated the fragile truce of the past few days.
By bombing civilians, Russia demonstrates less its strength than its weakness: it is running out of solutions on the military front and does not know how to end its war of aggression.
France stands alongside Ukraine and the Ukrainian people and will continue to mobilize to secure a cessation of hostilities and bring about a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, one that guarantees its security and that of Europe.
