Several killed as Russia fires more than 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident

Every new Russian strike only confirms Putin’s true intentions. He wants the war to continue, he is not interested in talking about peace. We must force Russia into a just peace,

Zelensky said

We welcome all relevant and constructive initiatives that support a comprehensive, just, and durable peace, upholding all the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter for the promotion of peaceful, friendly, and good neighborly relations among nations,

the statement continued

These are not random strikes - these are show strikes. After calls and meetings with Putin, after all the false gossip in the media about supposedly ‘refraining’ from strikes. Russia is showing what it is really interested in: only war,
