Full text of the statement:
“The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the massive Iranian missile attack against Israel on the evening of October 1, 2024. Civilians should never be the targets of deadly attacks.
We once again call on all parties to the Middle East conflict to prevent it from escalating into a full-scale war, the consequences of which would be catastrophic not only for the people in the region, but for the entire world.
Ukraine, which has been resisting unprovoked armed aggression for more than two and a half years, is confronting not only the aggressor state of Russia, but also its sidekicks, in particular Iran, which supplies the Russian regime with weapons for the war against our state. We condemn the actions of the Iranian regime, which are destabilizing two regions at once: Europe and the Middle East.
We support the prompt actions of Israel's allies and partners, who have taken preventive measures to minimize the negative consequences of Iranian rocket attacks on Israeli territory. We call on Ukraine's allies to equally resolutely and without hesitation defend Ukrainian skies from Russian missile and drone attacks, since human life is equally valuable in any part of the world.
We emphasize the importance of strict compliance by all states of the world with the norms and principles of international law and the UN Charter.
The speedy stabilization of the security situation in the Middle East is an important condition for preventing further regional destabilization.”
