Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's Foreign Minister, believes that Russia's missile strikes on Ukrainian cities on the night of 27-28 April are further evidence of the need to arm Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets.

Kuleba noted that missile strikes that kill innocent Ukrainians in their sleep, including a two-year-old child, are Russia's response to all peace initiatives.

"The way to peace is to kick Russia out of Ukraine. The way to peace is to arm Ukraine with F-16s and protect children from Russian terror," the minister stressed on Twitter.
