Following a massive overnight barrage of Russian drones and missiles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a fervent plea to the United States and Europe for significantly increased pressure on Moscow.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Zelenskyy declared, “If someone is not applying pressure and is giving the war more time to take lives, that is complicity and accountability. We must act decisively.”

He emphasized the urgent need for Russia to be held accountable for its actions, stating, “Since the first minute of this war, they have been striking cities and villages to destroy life. We’ve done a lot together with the world to enable Ukraine to defend itself. But now is exactly the moment when America, Europe, and everyone around the world can stop this war together by pressuring Russia.”

Zelenskyy’s call for intensified action underscores the escalating conflict and highlights the critical need for a unified international response to the ongoing Russian aggression.
