Dmytro Kuleba: “What else Russia has to do for everyone to understand that they already reached the peak of escalation?”

The situation in Mariupol is most dire militarily and heartbreaking. The city doesn't exist anymore, it seems from the way Russian army behaves in Mariupol, they decided to race the city to the ground at any cost.

It's not only about symbolism. It's also about sending a message of confidence in Ukraine, in Ukrainian leadership, and in the Ukrainian Army that is capable of defending the capital.

You do not hear fights over German Taurus or American ATACMS anymore—not because Ukraine doesn’t want them, but because Ukraine developed its own capability.

What you’ve seen -- the horrors that we’ve seen in Bucha are just the tip of the iceberg of all the crimes that have been committed by Russian army in territory of Ukraine so far.
