The Ambassador gave interviews to several leading Nigerian media outlets, commenting on the ongoing Russian strikes against Ukraine.

Key points:

- Against the backdrop of constant and deliberate Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, which have caused widespread destruction and the deaths of civilians, including children, the Embassy of Ukraine has opened a book of condolences six times in recent months.

- These strikes constitute “an attack on our shared sense of humanity” and a deliberate display of disrespect by Putin, particularly in the wake of international calls for a ceasefire.

- There have been repeated instances of Russia employing disgraceful tactics aimed at maximising civilian casualties, including striking the same location again after rescue workers have arrived and the use of cluster munitions.

- The Ambassador expressed gratitude to Nigeria for its support, noting that both Ukrainians and Nigerians share a deep understanding of the value of freedom — making international solidarity essential in confronting aggression.
