Appeal to International Allies
Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian President's Office, has called on international partners to ramp up assistance for Ukraine while intensifying pressure against Russia. He shared this appeal on his Facebook page. Budanov expressed deep concern following another Russian terrorist strike, which has plunged Kyiv into mourning. He stated that ensuring civilian safety remains one of the top priorities today.
Budanov stressed that Russia continues to launch daily attacks on both frontline regions and rear cities, posing serious risks to the civilian population. He emphasized that urban areas must be made as secure as possible, and that proper shelter operations, timely aid for victims, and protection of civilian infrastructure are essential necessities during wartime.
'The world must recognize: support for Ukraine needs to increase, just as pressure on the aggressor must grow. This will save lives. By defending us, you are stopping the terror that is already eyeing your borders.'
— Kyrylo Budanov
The presidential office chief also assured that no crime committed against Ukraine will go unpunished. 'Every criminal strike on our cities has a specific author and executors—with names and positions. Terror will not change the course of the war. It will only raise the price the enemy must pay for its choice. Our response will be inevitable,' he underscored. Budanov has previously stated that all those involved in Russian terror and war crimes will inevitably face accountability.
Critical Situation in Ukraine
Kyrylo Budanov's statement reflects the critical conditions in Ukraine, where civilian safety remains under constant threat from ongoing Russian assaults. This plea to the international community for increased support underscores the vital importance of global solidarity in a war that has now persisted for an extended period. Backing from allies could prove decisive in shielding Ukrainian cities and preserving the lives of innocent residents.
In light of the ongoing crisis, Budanov's appeal also highlights the importance of understanding the conditions that would enable Ukrainians living abroad to return home safely.
