Zelenskyy says Putin continues attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure after he agrees with Trump to stop them
Russia attacked civilian infrastructure facilities in Ukraine immediately after a conversation between US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, during which the parties agreed to stop such attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
“Around 40 Shahed drones are in our skies, and air defense is active. Unfortunately, there have been hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure. A direct hit by a Shahed drone on a hospital in Sumy, strikes on cities in Donetsk region, and attack drones currently in the skies over Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, and Cherkasy regions. It is these types of nighttime attacks by Russia that destroy our energy sector, our infrastructure, and the normal life of Ukrainians. And the fact that this night is no exception shows that the pressure on Russia must continue for the sake of peace,” Zelenskyy said on X Wednesday night.
According to him, ‘right now, in many regions, you can literally hear what Russia truly needs.”
“Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire. It would be right for the world to respond by rejecting any attempts by Putin to prolong the war. Sanctions against Russia. Assistance to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working toward security guarantees. And only a real cessation of strikes on civilian infrastructure by Russia, as proof of its willingness to end this war, can bring peace closer,” Zelenskyy summed up.
