Statement by the Tánaiste on latest Russian attacks on Ukraine

"I condemn the brutal Russian air attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities last night and on Saturday.

"The images of cities burning, homes destroyed, and people pulled from the rubble are shocking.

"These are not the actions of a country interested in peace.

"If Russia is serious about peace it would immediately halt its criminal attacks and agree to an unconditional ceasefire. I call on it to do so now."
