Russian attacks on Ukraine can only be halted through coordinated sanctions imposed by Ukraine and its international partners.

According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made the statement on Telegram.

“Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strike on Dnipro are ongoing. A drone attack has set a warehouse building at a Nova Post terminal and vehicles on fire. Units of the State Emergency Service are working at the site, continuously extinguishing the fire. About 70 first responders and 40 police officers have been deployed, along with nearly 30 pieces of equipment. Everyone is doing their utmost. Fortunately, there are no casualties,” Zelensky said.

He stressed that all such enemy attacks must be stopped and that this requires only sufficient support for Ukraine’s defense and continued pressure on Russia.

“Our long-range sanctions, partners’ sanctions, and all forms of political and economic pressure on Russia must work so that real security can be achieved. Only pressure will bring about peace,” the President emphasized.
