UK Ambassador says Russian airstrikes will not succeed against Ukrainians' iron will
UK Ambassador Martin Harris believes that Russia's tactic of destroying Ukraine's civilian infrastructure will not succeed against the "iron will of the Ukrainian people".
Harris noted on X (Twitter) that on 26 August, Russia had carried out cowardly airstrikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure all day long.
"But they will not succeed against the iron will of the Ukrainian people. My thoughts are with those killed and injured in today’s attacks. The perpetrators must be defeated and brought to justice," he wrote.
