As Russia’s attacks on Ukraine continued, sirens sounded in Ukraine’s port city of Odessa at around 12:30 local time after the air attack warning. Ukrainian Air Defense Systems targeted the aircraft belonging to the Russian army and fired missiles following the sirens.
People in the area received an emergency message on their phones, prompting them to seek shelter as sirens echoed throughout the city.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Germany sees a negotiated two-state solution as the only path forward and emphasized, “For Germany, recognition of the State of Palestine is still at the very end of the process. However, such a process must begin immediately.” Ahead of his visit to Israel and Palestine, Wadephul urged Israel to ensure the safe distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and warned against unilateral annexation steps in the West Bank.
