Zelensky urges global action as Russian attacks intensify
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a new statement, emphasises that the numerous attacks on Ukrainian cities indicate that Russia does not wish to end the war. He urges other nations to apply international pressure on the aggressor.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine underlined in a Sunday statement the intensity of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. He remarked that Russia shows no inclination to conclude the conflict, necessitating a decisive international response.
Zelensky reported that in the past week, Russia conducted hundreds of attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities. The attacked regions included the Chernihiv, Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Poltava, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy oblasts. The Russians deployed over 1,020 assault drones, nearly 1,360 guided aerial bombs, and more than 10 missiles of various types.
This is certainly not the conduct of those who wish to end the war as swiftly as possible. Therefore, together we must exert pressure on Russia to halt its aggression - Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
Sanctions and international cooperation
Zelensky emphasised that decisive measures are needed, including sanctions, which should not only be sustained but continually strengthened. The cooperation of Ukraine, Europe, America, and all those who desire peace is crucial to ensuring a just and lasting peace.
Ukraine, Europe, America, and everyone around the world who wants peace - together we can ensure a just and lasting peace - added the president.
Vladimir Putin spoke about the US-Ukrainian agreements regarding a potential ceasefire. He stated that Russia is interested in "lasting peace". In his opinion, achieving this will only be feasible after addressing "the root causes of the conflict," which Putin did not specify.
