You're reading: Ukraine urges international community to ramp up pressure on Kremlin – Foreign Ministry

The Nov. 20 shooting of the Ukrainian territory from Russia in the breach of Minsk agreements is an act of aggression by Moscow. Kyiv urges the international community to condemn these actions and step up pressure on Kremlin, Spokesman of Ukraine's Foreign Ministry Yevhen Perebyinis has said.

“We perceive it as a brazen act of aggression against sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state and yet another crime against humanity,” Perebyinis said at a briefing in Kyiv on Nov. 25.

According to him, Ukraine demands that Russia stop provocations, conduct an investigation and punish those responsible for firing at Ukrainian territory, as well as withdraw Russian troops from Ukraine.

“[We] urge the international community to condemn Russia’s aggressive actions towards Ukraine and ramp up the pressure on Kremlin,” Perebyinis said.
