He recalled that, in particular, one person died in Odessa this night, two were injured. One civilian died in Kharkiv region, another in Chernihiv region. People were also injured in Zaporizhia and Sumy regions.
Odesa is suffering the most these days. Russia is deliberately destroying energy and civil infrastructure, leaving people without electricity, water, and heating in freezing conditions. This has no military purpose — it is just Russia's intention to kill people because they are Ukrainian.
Russia did not stop its brutal bombing of civilians in Ukraine even on the holy Christmas night.

According to the Foreign Minister, such actions fall under Article II (c) of the 1948 Genocide Convention: "Deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."
We call on the world to act, increase pressure on the aggressor, and strengthen Ukraine's means to defend itself and its people, including air defense.
