Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Monday said that an “extraordinary meeting” of the Nato-Ukraine Council will be held today in Brussels at the request of Ukraine and in response to Russia’s recent massive air attack.
Taking to X, Sybiha wrote, “We anticipate a focused discussion on joint steps to adequately respond to Russia’s rejection of peace efforts. We are grateful to NATO and all allies who continue to show strong support for Ukraine and meaningful peace efforts. Moscow must feel a stronger pressure as the consequence of it prolonging the war,” the post reads.

The Nato-Ukraine Council was established last year to enable closer coordination between the alliance and Kyiv.
Ambassadors from Nato’s member countries and Ukrainian officials normally attend meetings of the council.
Russia on Wednesday carried out its second-largest aerial attack since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, killing at least 23 people — including four children — Ukrainian officials said.
The strikes, which extended into Thursday, damaged buildings linked to the European Union and the British Council. In response, both the EU and the United Kingdom summoned Russia’s top diplomats in their respective capitals.
According to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, the victims included children aged 2, 14, and 17. Emergency services reported that 22 of the deaths occurred when a five-storey residential building in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district was hit.
Ukraine’s air force said that the Kremlin unleashed 629 air attack weapons on the country overnight, comprising 598 drones and 31 missiles.
