Ukraine has yet again called on the international community to unite and help it stop Russia's attacks and killings on Ukrainians.
This comes after Russia's airstrike on the country on the night of Friday, December 29, which hit at least six regions.
Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs described it as the largest missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages since the entire period of its full-scale invasion.
"We call on the international community to unite all efforts to stop the Russian genocide of the Ukrainian people," the Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
"No talk of a "truce", "temporary relinquishment of territories", "fatigue", "negotiations" and other "concessions" will stop Russian aggression but will only inflate its scale. Russia is not considering any other scenarios than the complete destruction of Ukraine."
Preliminary information stated that Russians used about 158 weapons units including missiles of various types and attack UAVs.
The airstrike hit Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and other Ukrainian regions.
Among the institutions attacked was a maternity hospital, a school, an apartment building, a kindergarten, a post office, a metro station and a shopping centre.
Ukraine's Foreign Affairs Ministry said dozens of people were killed and injured in the shelling.
"The search for those who are trapped under the rubble continues," it added.
It lamented that Russian troops are fighting Ukrainian women, children, the elderly, and civilians.
Further, it said the recent attack is a revenge for Russia's inability to turn the tide of the war.
Still calling for aid, the Ministry acknowledged the country's partners and who have provided them with air and missile defence equipment.
"Today, your help has saved many lives," it said.
"The only possible way to protect Ukrainians is to provide Ukraine with all the necessary military and financial means to defend itself. Russian terror must lose, and Ukraine must win."
