The Russian strike on Ternopil, which killed more than two dozen people, will be discussed during a meeting of the UN Security Council on November 20, reported minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiha.

"Tomorrow, at the UN Security Council meeting, Ukraine will highlight the horrific killing of at least 25 people, including 3 children, by Russia in Ternopil. We call for condemnation, justice and a decisive response," the official wrote.

According to him, Ukraine has already contacted all its partners and international organizations and informed them of the consequences of the strike.
