Zelensky: War against Ukraine must not be overshadowed by war in Middle East
President Volodymyr Zelensky said this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
“It is important that the world does not remain silent about what is happening and that this Russian war in Europe is not overshadowed by the war in Iran. ‘Shaheds’ kill people all the same, and protection against cruise missiles and ballistic threats must be equally reliable,” Zelensky wrote.
He stressed the importance of ensuring that all political agreements on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense are implemented on time, and called for continued pressure on Russia.
“There must be no pauses in sanctions against Russia for each of these strikes,” he added.
Zelensky also said that rescue operations are still ongoing in Dnipro following Russian attacks on the city, which have continued since the night and into the day with missile and drone strikes.
“Strikes have hit ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, civilian sites. During the day, the Russians once again attacked the same residential area they had struck overnight. There have been numerous casualties. As of now, more than 40 people have been reported wounded in Dnipro, including children. Twenty-three people have been hospitalized. Two more are missing – their search will continue until their fate is determined. Sadly, five people in the city have been killed by these Russian strikes,” the President stressed.
As reported, Russian forces struck Dnipro again on April 25, damaging a residential building and causing fatalities. The number of people injured in the attacks has risen to 46, including five children. Five people have been killed.
