Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is “ready to support Romania in whatever way is necessary” after a Russian drone struck a residential building in the Romanian city of Galați overnight on May 29.

Ukraine's president called on the European Union to step up pressure on Russia so that Moscow’s war “is not dragged out or expanded”.

“We count on the European Union’s new sanctions measures against Russia to be truly strong and to make Russia feel that its strikes mean significant losses for Russia itself," he said. "That would be fair.”
