Details: Leading Ukrainian journalists have appealed to their international colleagues and influential Western media outlets not to look away from events in Ukraine. Mathernová said she supports their appeal.
Quote: " Paradoxically, war fatigue is taking hold just as Russia escalates its attacks on Ukraine's civilians and energy infrastructure to unprecedented levels, ahead of forthcoming winter. Ukraine needs the democratic world's full attention now, including tougher sanctions against Russia and unwavering support for Ukraine."
Details: Over the past 24 hours, Russia has carried out more than 20 attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, targeting energy facilities in 10 oblasts. Missiles, guided aerial bombs and jet-powered drones were used, Mathernová stressed.
" War fatigue is a luxury we cannot afford while Ukrainian children face the cold and Ukrainian civilians die defending the European values we share ," the ambassador added.
Background: Earlier, Alain Berset , Secretary General of the Council of Europe, expressed solidarity with Ukraine following Russia's deadly aerial bomb attack on a school used to distribute humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on 2 November. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas condemned the Russian attack on the railway station in Dnipro and called for those responsible to be held accountable, including through a Special Tribunal for Russia's aggression.
