Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke on September 16 about Russia's relentless attacks on Ukraine's logistics and critical infrastructure. Zelenskyy emphasized that each strike profoundly affected the lives of regular citizens, warning that easing sanctions would not lead to peace. He recounted a specific incident where Russian forces targeted a regular intercity minibus near Nikopol with an FPV drone, killing five people and injuring seven.
Zelenskyy expressed condolences to the families affected. In the Mykolaiv region, Russian forces struck a passenger train, damaging a railway station and a diesel locomotive, while evacuating nearly 170 passengers. An electric locomotive was also damaged in Kovel. The Kherson, Donetsk, and Poltava regions were also under attack.
Zelenskyy pointed to a bill proposed by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, which could send positive signals towards peace. He stressed that the right steps towards real peace require strong sanctions against Russia, as easing pressure is not the time to do so. Zelenskyy urged that diplomacy must be pursued through strength during these challenging times.
