Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the Russian drone and missile attack on Kiev shows Russia does not want to end the war. He spoke before departing for the United States, where he is to meet Donald Trump to discuss a peace plan. The assault killed at least one person in the capital and its surroundings.
On Saturday, Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the overnight Russian drone and missile attack that targeted Kiev, Ukraine's capital, from Friday to Saturday. The assault struck the city and its surroundings, resulting in at least one death. "The Russians do not want to end the war and seek to seize every opportunity to inflict even greater suffering on Ukraine and increase their pressure on others around the world," the Ukrainian president stated.
Zelensky spoke just before his departure for the United States. There, he plans to meet with Donald Trump to discuss a plan to end the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. This meeting comes amid ongoing tensions, where Russian strikes highlight, according to Kiev, Moscow's lack of willingness to cease hostilities.
The attack on Kiev underscores the continuation of Russian military operations despite current diplomatic efforts. Zelensky thus emphasized the need for firm responses to these actions, which aim to intensify Ukrainian suffering and exert broader global influence.
