The President of Ukraine noted that now in many regions one can literally hear what Russia really needs. There are about 40 "Shaheds" in the Ukrainian sky and air defense is trying to shoot them down.
Zelensky said that, unfortunately, there were hits to civilian infrastructure. A direct hit by a Shahed drone on a hospital in Sumy, strikes on cities in Donetsk region, attack drones in the sky of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipro and Cherkasy regions right now.
Президент України заявив, що ці цинічні атаки Росії руйнують енергетику, інфраструктуру, нормальне життя українців. І той факт, що ця ніч не стала винятком, свідчить, що треба й далі тиснути на Росію заради миру.
How to protect Ukraine from Russia
Zelenskyy noted that really powerful sanctions and assistance to Ukraine would help put pressure on Russia. The President of Ukraine drew attention to the need to strengthen allies and work for security guarantees. According to Zelensky, only a real cessation of Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure as evidence of a desire to end this war can bring peace closer.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his readiness to send British troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers to preserve the peace agreement and deter Russia.
Also, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the US side has a plan A and a plan B to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
