Ukraine Russia war latest: Zelensky calls on West to step up pressure on Putin after deadly Kyiv strike
President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the West to amp up pressure on Russia after it launched a deadly assault on Kyiv.
As one person died in Kyiv, and three were injured, Ukraine’s leader said that “pressure on Russia is still insufficient, and the daily Russian strikes on Ukraine prove it.”
He said Kyiv wasn’t the only region which suffered strikes, as the Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Cherkasy regions were also hit.
“The number of air attacks is increasing. This is how Russia reveals its true intentions—to continue the terror for as long as the world allows it” he said. “Every strike targets our people, our children. They are waging war against children playing on playgrounds.”
Zelensky continued that the entire world had seen Russia “intends to continue the war and the killing” so there could be “no easing of pressure” in a pursuit of peace.
This comes as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the world will know “in a matter of weeks” if Russia is “serious about peace or not.”
