Russia will not be able to intimidate Ukrainians with missile strikes, - British permanent representative to the UN

Russia will not be able to intimidate the Ukrainians and force them to capitulate with missile attacks on Ukraine.

This is stated in a statement by the British Permanent Representative to the UN James Kariuki at a meeting of the UN Security Council dedicated to discussing the shelling of Odesa by Russian troops, Ukrinform

According to him, Russia’s actions demonstrate complete disregard for international law and the UN Charter. The Russian Federation is trying to intimidate Ukraine, its residents and those who support Ukraine. She won’t be able to do this.

In his opinion, the Ukrainians have shown that they will not allow themselves to be forced to surrender: “Russia must know that Great Britain is proud of its solidarity with the Ukrainians.”

He called on Russia to "withdraw its troops, stop the bloodshed and end this senseless war."

"Ukraine deserves a just and lasting peace that respects its territorial integrity. With our help, this is exactly what Ukraine will achieve."
