President Zelenskyy is pointing to the increased wave of air attacks to try to impress upon US President Donald Trump that Moscow is not interested in a ceasefire.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Western allies to take “concrete action” after Russia unleashed another barrage of drone and missile strikes.
The strikes launched early on Tuesday hit targets across the country, including Kyiv. It was the latest in a series of large-scale bombardments by Russian forces and spurred Zelenskyy to try once again to note to United States President Donald Trump that Moscow is not interested in a ceasefire.
Two people were killed and nine injured in the southern port city of Odesa, where a maternity hospital and residential buildings were struck. Four people were injured in the attack on Kyiv – one of the largest on the Ukrainian capital so far – while the Dnipro and Chernihiv regions were also targeted, Ukrainian officials said.
“Russian missile and Shahed strikes drown out the efforts of the United States and others around the world to force Russia into peace,” Zelenskyy said in a social media post.
