Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took to X on Wednesday to demand additional sanctions against Russia in response to the largest drone and missile attack since the conflict began three years ago.
"This is yet another proof of the need for sanctions – biting sanctions against oil, which has been fueling Moscow’s war machine with money for over three years of the war. Secondary sanctions on those who buy this oil and thereby sponsor killings. Our partners know how to apply pressure in a way that will force Russia to think about ending the war, not launching new strikes," Zelensky wrote.
Ukraine reported that Russia launched an unprecedented 741 aerial threats in one day, comprising 728 various drones, including more than 300 Shaheds, and 13 Kinzhal and Iskander missiles. Lutsk bore the brunt of the attack, but damage was also documented across Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Kiev, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv regions.
