Sybiha condemns Russian strikes on U.S. company’s facility in Sumy region
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has condemned a Russian attack on a civilian facility in the Sumy region owned by Mondelēz International.
Sybiha, a minister, denounced Russian strikes on a facility owned by Mondelēz International, a prominent American multinational company, located in Ukraine's Sumy region. The minister detailed the attack in a post on X, stating that two Russian drone strikes targeted the factory premises, causing damage and injuring several employees.
However, no fatalities were reported. The minister emphasized that these attacks underscore the severity of Russian aggression, not only towards Ukraine but also directly impacting American economic interests in Europe.
Sybiha outlined the ongoing strategy to counter these threats, which involves bolstering military support for Ukraine, with a particular focus on enhancing air defense capabilities. Additionally, the minister called for maximum pressure on Russia to cease the conflict, advocating for the enactment of the recently proposed Sanctioning Russia Act. Reports indicate that on August 20, Russian forces launched an assault on 18 settlements within the Sumy region, 23 times, resulting in eight injuries, including a child.
