Zelensky: Putin Is Testing Whether The World Will Accept It

Russia is hitting harder and more brazenly.

Russia has stepped up its strikes on Ukraine. In this way, Russian dictator Putin is trying to test whether the world will accept this aggression.

This said in a statement by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president said that after the massive Russian strike in Ukrainian cities, particularly in Kiev, Sumy and other communities, doctors are treating the wounded.

He said the geography of the attacks over the day covered Kiev, Sumy, Kremenchuk, Odessa, Dnipro, Krivoy Rog and Zaporizhzhya.

In the Ukrainian capital, he said, debris removal is still underway, under which bodies may remain. He also mentioned the damaged building of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers.

In general, as the Ukrainian head of state explained, more than four dozen people are now known to have been injured across the country, 20 of them in Kiev.

Zelensky expressed condolences to the families and friends of the victims and added that the air alert lasted more than seven and a half hours in the capital alone, and Kiev became one of the main targets of Russian drones this night.

Partners' reaction to the attack on Ukraine

The Ukrainian president said it was important that there was a broad reaction from partners to the strike today.

- Obviously Russia is trying to hurt Ukraine and the strikes are more brazen. It's a clear sign that Putin is testing the world - whether they will accept it or relent," he said.

And that's why Zelensky said it's important that statements by leaders, states, institutions be followed up with strong action - sanctions against Russia, against individuals associated with Russia and strong tariffs and other restrictions on trade with Russia.

- Their losses must be felt. That is what is compelling. And also - our long range. Putin doesn't want negotiations, is clearly hiding from them, so Russia's gasoline shortages and other economic problems are a logical response to Russian refusals to go to a cease-fire, to a leaders' meeting," he concluded.
