On the morning of 2 January, Russia launched a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that the Russians had launched 99 missiles of various types, 72 of which were destroyed.

European Council President Charles Michel believes that the latest large-scale attack on Ukraine shows that Moscow is not interested in any peace talks.

EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell said that Russia will be held accountable for its war crimes.
