Zelenskyy on Ukrainian airport shelling: Russian-Iranian Shaheds are answer to American diplomacy
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the Ukrainian side's interest in ending the war while commenting on overnight shelling by Russian occupiers, but stressed the necessity of holding the enemy accountable.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on overnight shelling by Russian forces, emphasizing Ukraine's desire for peace and the need to hold the enemy accountable. He reported that Russian and Iranian "Shahed" drones struck Ukrainian airports in Kyiv and Boryspil, alleging the strikes were a response to American diplomacy efforts regarding a potential American plane landing in Kyiv or Boryspil.
Zelenskyy vowed to adjust his operations against Russian airspace following the attacks, ensuring no threats to diplomacy on his side. American officials Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, along with US President Donald Trump, plan to visit Kyiv on Sunday, following a previous visit to Moscow. Diplomats assess the prospects for a Russian-Ukrainian peace agreement during Trump's envoy visit as extremely pessimistic due to Russia's unwillingness to negotiate terms favorable to Ukraine.
