“Russia is once again threatening diplomats and foreigners, calling on us to leave Kyiv. But we are not going anywhere!

Today's statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry is a masterpiece of hypocrisy.

The regime that for years bombed residential buildings, museums, maternity hospitals, schools, and power plants is now suddenly speaking the language of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.

The very same regime that launches missiles and drones at civilians every day is now warning others to stay away.

We understand exactly what this means. Russia wants fear. Panic. The isolation of Ukraine.

This will not work.

The EU is not leaving anywhere. We are staying in Kyiv. We are staying with Ukraine.

Threats against diplomats and international organizations are not a sign of strength. They are a sign of desperation.

The more aggressive and threatening the Kremlin becomes, the clearer it is that the Putin regime understands that it cannot break either Ukrainian resistance or the support of its partners.

Kyiv stands.

Ukraine stands.

And so do we.

🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦”.

EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Mathernova.
