I am grateful to the rescue teams, police officers, doctors, nurses, public service workers — to everyone helping people right now. This truly matters.”

Zelensky emphasized that Russia’s attack once again highlights the need for increased pressure on Moscow and additional sanctions: “This vile attack by Russia once again shows the need to step up pressure and impose further sanctions. We appreciate that President Trump, European leaders, and other partners clearly see what is happening and condemn Russia.”
