Zelensky calls on US to sanction Russia ‘now’ over deadly strikes
The Ukrainian president separately called for a truce with Russia covering strikes on energy targets over the winter.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the US to impose sanctions on Russia immediately in response to recent deadly strikes. Zelensky announced his plans to meet with US President Donald Trump in late September, as US-led talks aimed at ending the four-and-a-half year conflict in Ukraine remain stalled. The Ukrainian leader emphasized the urgency of imposing sanctions now, expressing frustration over the slow decision-making process.
Zelensky also advocated for a truce with Russia, specifically targeting energy-related strikes, stating that Ukraine is prepared to retaliate if Moscow attacks Ukraine's energy infrastructure during winter. Both countries have intensified long-range strikes on each other recently, with an early morning Russian drone attack on a petrol station in Kyiv resulting in two deaths and four injuries, according to the city's mayor.
