Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky condemned Putin for aggression against Ukraine, calling him a coward who deliberately targets women and children. He urged that support for Ukraine should not be canceled and to respond to this tragic situation.

'Last night he launched over 800 drones and missiles, killing a mother and her two-month-old baby. A coward who attacks women and children. To speak today about halting assistance to Ukraine means to side with the aggressor.' - Jan Lipavsky

The President of Latvia emphasized that Russia's attack shows their desire for war, not peace. Europe must respond to this terror and support Ukraine in this difficult time.

'Our response should consist of supplying more weapons to Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia.' - President of Latvia
