Zelensky condemns attacks, demands international response
President Zelensky condemned the Russian attacks and criticized the insufficient international response, saying Moscow must face consequences for its 'missile and drone terror' before winter.
“Unfortunately, there has been too little response from the international community to these strikes, which are taking people's lives practically every day. But a response is needed – Moscow must not go into the winter believing that it can get away with missile and drone terror without consequences.”
