Russian jet-powered drone strikes infrastructure facility

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the United States of being unwilling to assist Ukraine following a wave of Russian attacks that have claimed over 70 lives in the span of two days. The death toll rose to 70 after a Russian bomb hit the city of Kramatorsk, killing at least 35 people, bringing the total death count over two days to 70.

Earlier, a Russian guided aerial bomb struck a village in southeastern Dnipropetrovsk, killing two more individuals, while a drone attack in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk claimed one life.

Zelensky criticized Washington's efforts to forge economic ties with Russia while attempting to mediate the ongoing conflict. He highlighted the discrepancy between the US's stance on expanding Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite service for targeting Russian ballistic-missile launchers and the assertion by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the war is at a stalemate.

Zelensky stated, "That's called unwillingness." He urged the US to open Starlink for Ukraine and lend a hand in defending their skies and gaining the upper hand. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that negotiations with Russia must take place concurrently with fighting the war.
