Foreign diplomats visit site of Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih – photos

Clarification: The previous version of this news incorrectly stated that Andrii Sybiha, Foreign Minister of Ukraine, personally visited Kryvyi Rih with diplomats. We apologise for the mistake. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha has said that several foreign diplomats and ambassadors who came to Ukraine visited the site of the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih.

During our visit to Baryshivka in Kyiv region, I thanked Belgium for the construction of a shelter at the local lyceum and the active role of the Belgian agency... pic.twitter.com/SsGOmhsYlf
