Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United Kingdom, former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (2021-24) Valeriy Zaluzhnyi states the necessity of assistance from allies to stop the shelling of Ukrainian cities by Russia, and predicts that otherwise this terror will intensify.

And this is not about any military logic – it is outright terror against the civilian population and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Stopping this is possible only with effective assistance from Western allies. The world must react, otherwise the precedent of a ‘war against cities’ will only spread," Zaluzhny wrote on Telegram on Wednesday morning.
