Katarina Maternova, the European Union Ambassador to Ukraine, has condemned Russia’s massive strikes on Ukrainian territory, calling them ‘the true face of the Russian version of peace.’ The comments come as tensions continue to rise in the ongoing conflict, with the EU and its allies expressing concerns over the increasing violence. Ambassador Maternova’s remarks highlight the growing international criticism of Russia’s military actions, which are seen as a violation of international law.
Maternova emphasized that Russia’s so-called ‘peace’ initiative is, in fact, a continuation of its aggressive military campaign. The strikes, which targeted various regions in Ukraine, have caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and have led to numerous casualties. The EU has been vocal in its condemnation of the attacks, with several member states calling for further sanctions against Russia.
The ambassador’s comments are part of a broader effort by the EU to rally international support for Ukraine and to isolate Russia diplomatically. As the conflict continues, the EU is working closely with its allies to provide military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, while also pushing for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing war.
