A ceasefire along the contact line is a big compromise, and Ukraine may reconsider this proposal for negotiations with Russia. This was stated by Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Andriy Melnyk during a meeting of the UN Security Council on June 22, Suspilne reports.. " But our patience is not limitless. If the UN Security Council continues to take a wait-and-see approach, Ukraine may reconsider its current proposals. A ceasefire along the actual front line is already a big compromise,” Melnyk said.. Addressing the Russian representative, he said that Russia will never be able to retain the occupied territories and called on her to leave Ukraine as soon as possible. Melnik spoke about the night attack against June 15, calling it one of the largest combined air attacks since the full-scale invasion - 70 missiles and more than 600 drones, the main target of which was Kyiv. According to him, Russian troops deliberately damaged the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, an 11th-century Orthodox monastery listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.. “As a result of this blow, the Assumption Cathedral, built in 1078, suffered serious damage.. This is not only one of the main shrines of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, but also one of the most significant spiritual and cultural monuments of the entire Christian world," He added that Russia also destroyed the Dovzhenko film studio, founded in 1926, due to which Ukraine lost the largest and oldest collection of film costumes. According to Melnyk, the strike damaged the Mystetskyi Arsenal complex, the National Palace of Arts and the Kiev National Operetta Theater, and the art museum in Kharkov was damaged. The Permanent Representative of Ukraine called these attacks gross violations of international humanitarian law. " Russia must be punished for these acts of barbarity," Melnik also said that Russian troops are stuck along the front line, and Russia is losing more than 30 thousand troops every month - twice as much as the Soviet Union lost annually during the ten years of war in Afghanistan. He added that the Russian population is beginning to panic because the consequences of the war unleashed by Putin have begun to reach Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities.. Let us recall that the US representative at a meeting of the UN Security Council said that time is not on Russia’s side, and it is better for it to conclude an agreement and end the war. .
