Today, the meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe began with a minute's silence in memory of those who died as a result of the massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine on July 8.
I cannot find words to express my dismay and sorrow at the bombing of a children’s hospital in Kyiv today which resulted in death and casualties of innocent people. This is an unquestionable war crime, for which the Russian leadership and Russian army bears full responsibility!
