The head of state called for greater European unity, increased support for Ukraine, and additional sanctions against Russia, emphasizing that the war will stop only when Russia stops.
“During the night, Russia bombed residential buildings in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Odesa. At least 15 civilians were killed. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones,” Maia Sandu wrote on Twitter.
“What is needed now is more European unity, more support for Ukraine, more sanctions against Russia—because this war will stop only when Russia stops,” the president added.
