Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak reacted to the enemy's massive attack on Odessa. He writes about this:
"This is Odesa. The one who is afraid for the parade has again killed civilians with drones. A complete ceasefire - we must push for it together with the US and Europe. The desire to kill Putin will always be there, until the end of his life, but diplomacy, forceful and economic methods of influence will still force Russia to stop the war. We are working on this with our partners every day. There will be more important diplomacy soon, which will concern our security, as well as a just and sustainable peace."
