🔶 TIMEZONE – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for increased international pressure on Russia following intensified overnight strikes. Rescuers are currently working in over 30 Ukrainian cities and villages after nearly 300 attack drones and almost 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, were launched by Russia.
Zelenskyy stated that the strikes deliberately targeted “ordinary cities,” including Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and others. He emphasized the urgent need for new sanctions against Russia, stating, “Silence of America, silence of others around the world only encourage Putin.”
He urged the United States, European countries, and all those seeking peace to demonstrate determination and apply strong pressure on the Russian leadership to halt the ongoing brutality.
