“Act now. A country protected from aggression in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter cannot be limited in its protection. International law allows Ukraine to strike legitimate military targets on the territory of the Russian Federation. Allow Ukraine to strike and protect lives,” he urged Siga.
We remind you that on September 5, the Verkhovna Rada appointed First Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga as the head of the Foreign Ministry instead of Dmitry Kuleba, who the day before wrote a letter of resignation and was dismissed when earlier that day. Sibiga’s candidacy was officially nominated by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
Following this, Sibiga said that the policy on Ukrainians abroad will change.
