Ukraine condemned
At the United Nations meeting that began on Monday, Ukraine called Russia a terrorist state. The meeting, which was called immediately in view of the relentless attacks on Ukraine by Russia, condemned Russia for the attack.
Ukraine's ambassador, Sergiy Kyslytsya referred to the Russian attack and said the bombing was so intense that some of his close relatives were trapped in a residential building. By launching missiles at civilians sleeping in their homes or targeting school-going children, Russia has shown that it is a terrorist country that must be strongly stopped, he said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday pressured the international community that Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions on Ukraine were completely unacceptable.
