Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the global community to respond decisively to Russia’s intensified assault on Ukraine, warning that only a strong, united reaction can halt the spread of terror.
“A strong reaction is needed from the world: a massive attack must be met with a massive reaction. This is the only way terror can be stopped,” Zelensky stated. He criticized empty rhetoric and called for action, emphasizing that strength is essential to achieving peace and confronting evil effectively.
Ukraine endured another night of relentless aerial bombardment, with air raid alerts across the nation forcing millions into underground shelters. Ukrainian air force officials reported waves of drones, cruise missiles, and air-launched Kinzhal ballistic missiles targeting key infrastructure.
Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko assured citizens that efforts were underway to minimize disruptions to the energy grid. However, five of Ukraine’s nine nuclear reactors experienced reduced power output due to the strikes.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) condemned attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities but faced criticism for not explicitly naming Russia as the aggressor.
Meanwhile, Moscow claimed its aerial campaign aims to disrupt Ukraine’s defense production capabilities. Recent strikes have left millions without power and sparked fears of further escalations as Russian forces inch closer to Pokrovsk, a strategic city in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine’s military leadership has announced plans for sweeping reforms to enhance recruitment, training, and management, aiming to bolster defenses in critical regions like Donetsk.
As tensions rise, Zelensky’s call for global action highlights the urgent need for international solidarity to counter Russia’s aggression and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
