Russian Strikes Are Becoming Increasingly Brutal, Zelensky Says

Russian strikes are becoming increasingly brutal. This is a clear sign that Russian President Vladimir Putin is testing the world to see if they will accept this and reconcile with it, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Therefore, it is extremely important that the statements of leaders, states, and institutions are accompanied by strong actions, including sanctions against Russia and related individuals, strict tariffs, and other trade restrictions. Their losses must be tangible—this is what is convincing. Putin does not want negotiations; he is obviously avoiding them. Thus, the shortage of gasoline and other economic issues in Russia are a logical response to the refusal to agree to a ceasefire and a meeting of leaders,” Zelensky noted.
