Zelenskyy urges partners to take action: Moscow must be forced to stop, not persuaded
Against the backdrop of yet another series of Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure and the energy sector, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow is deliberately prolonging the war and called for forcing it to "stop – through increased pressure, sanctions, and aid to Ukraine"
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged his international partners to take immediate action against Russia's relentless aggression. In a recent series of attacks, Russia has targeted civilian infrastructure and the energy sector, resulting in casualties and destruction across Ukraine. Speaking on Telegram, Zelenskyy condemned Moscow's deliberate prolonging of the conflict, emphasizing that the only solution is to force Russia to cease its actions.
The president highlighted the recent suicide drone attack in Lutsk, which killed six people and wounded thirteen. This, he said, is occurring on top of a massive nighttime attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which is still under restoration in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and the Kharkiv region. Zelenskyy emphasized that these attacks represent a constant, deliberate pressure on Ukraine's people.
Zelenskyy pointed to the United States and the American president's calls for a resolution, but stressed that these peaceful approaches are not sufficient. Instead, he called for increased pressure, the imposition of sanctions, and providing aid to Ukraine to help protect its citizens from the ongoing attacks. He urged all G7 leaders and all nations committed to peace to take action, stating that Russia will continue to inflict casualties as long as it does not feel enough pressure.
