Zelensky urges swift sanctions amid deadly Russian attacks

    
• From Saturday night to Sunday, Russia conducted attacks using nearly 300 drones and 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, targeting Kyiv and other regions.
• The attacks resulted in 12 deaths and 60 injuries, including children. Residential buildings and dormitories were destroyed.
• Volodymyr Zelensky calls for new sanctions against Russia, stressing that international silence encourages further aggressive actions by Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Russian attacks led to 12 deaths and 60 injuries, including children. The assaults affected multiple regions, including Kyiv, where the dormitories of the university's history department were destroyed.

"Ordinary residential buildings were destroyed and damaged. In Kyiv, dormitories of the university's history department were hit. There were also strikes on enterprises. Tragically, people were killed, including children. My condolences," Zelensky shared on social media.

Zelensky emphasizes that without strong pressure on Russian leaders, the cruelty cannot be stopped. "Without truly strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this brutality cannot be stopped. Sanctions will certainly help. Determination matters now – the determination of the United States, of European countries, and of all those around the world who seek peace," declared the President of Ukraine. He highlights that the world knows the vulnerabilities of the Russian economy and insists that only appropriate pressure can compel Putin to end the war.

"Each such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia. Russia is dragging out this war and continues to kill every day. The world may go on a weekend break, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. Silence of America, silence of others around the world only encourage Putin," he emphasized.
