Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that Russian forces deliberately targeted a civilian production facility in Dnipro belonging to the U.S.-based company “Bunge”.

Sybiha emphasized that this attack was not an isolated incident and that Russia is pursuing a systematic strategy of attacks against American investments in Ukraine.

Recalling previous attacks on American businesses, Sybiha said: “Russian strikes last year damaged Boeing offices in Kyiv, a major American electronics manufacturer in Zakarpattia, and other facilities. About half of the members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine faced damage or destruction of varying scale at their facilities.”

Criticizing Moscow’s stance toward diplomatic processes, Sybiha stated: “Putin’s attacks on American businesses and interests in Ukraine demonstrate his complete disregard for peace efforts led by President Donald Trump. Therefore, advancing the peace process, strengthening Ukraine’s air defense, and increasing sanctions pressure are extremely important.”

Noting that Russia’s refusal to respond to constructive steps must have consequences, Sybiha added: “Moscow’s refusal to respond to Ukraine’s constructive steps toward peace must have a price, and the Kremlin must feel that this price is serious.”
