Statement by Sergii Nizhynskyi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of Cyprus
10 October 2025 13:00

“Russian terrorists once again targeted Ukraine’s critical civilian infrastructure, particularly the energy sector, launching hundreds of drones and missiles against peaceful cities.

In total, Ukraine faced 465 strike drones, including Shahed, Gerbera, and other types:

◼️2 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles;

◼️14 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles;

◼️12 Iskander-K cruise missiles;

◼️ 4 Kh-59/69 guided air-launched missiles.

Thanks to the bravery and skill of our Air Defense Forces, 420 out of 497 aerial targets were destroyed, while 4 enemy missiles failed to reach their objectives. Yet, 13 missiles and 60 drones struck 19 locations across the country.

More than 20 civilians were injured and are now receiving medical assistance. Tragically, a child was killed in Zaporizhzhia. I express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the young victim.

In Kyiv, emergency crews are tirelessly working to restore power and water supply. Outages have been reported in the Kyiv, Donetsk, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Odesa, and Dnipro regions, while Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, and Kherson regions are also recovering from the aftermath of the attack.

These deliberate strikes against civilians are another act of terror by Russia — a state that continues to violate every norm of international law and human decency.

It is critical to provide Ukraine with the necessary air defense systems, to strengthen sanctions, and to ensure Russia’s complete political and economic isolation.

I call on all our partners, allies, and friends to respond decisively. The world must not allow terror to prevail over humanity.”
