He said:
“Hundreds of ‘shaheds’ every night, constant strikes, and massive attacks on Ukrainian cities. This demands that we speed things up. Sanctions must be imposed faster, and pressure on Russia must be strong enough that they truly feel the consequences of their terror.”
The attack comes just hours before Zelenskyy meets with international parts at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome and talks to allies in the Coalition of the Willing.
In an early morning post, he said the talks will focus on “additional funding for the production of interceptor drones and the supply of air defence systems for Ukraine.”
“The objectives are absolutely clear. Such Russian attacks must be met with a tough response. And that is exactly what we will deliver.”
