Ukraine, Zelensky: ‘Raids on Kyiv show that Russia does not want to end the war’

Turin, 27 Dec. (LaPresse) – "Russian representatives engage in lengthy discussions, but in reality, it is the Kinzhals and the “shaheds” that speak for them. This is the true attitude of Putin and his inner circle. They do not want to end the war and are trying to exploit every opportunity to cause even more suffering to Ukraine and increase their pressure on others in the world. And this means that the response pressure is still insufficient." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote this on X, commenting on the Russian forces' raids in recent hours, in which more than 20 people were injured. “If Russia turns the Christmas and New Year period into a time of destroyed houses and burned apartments, of destroyed power plants, then this sick activity can only be responded to with truly strong actions. The United States has this capacity. Europe has this capacity. Many of our partners have this capacity. The key is to use it,” he explained.
