Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Russia continued attacking civilians despite “the whole world and above all the United States” calling for the end to the conflict. He added that it seems Moscow “is not hearing” US President Donald Trump’s calls to stop the “killing” and engage in diplomacy. On the other hand, Zelensky stressed that Kiev had already agreed to the US president’s initiative to begin talks with Russia. “This means that we must more actively implement everything that strengthens us: the PURL [Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List] program, co-production, and the finalization of security guarantees. On the table are large-scale agreements on drones and arms purchases that Ukraine has proposed to America. Decisive action is needed so that Russia will finally agree to diplomacy as well,” he elaborated. The president said 90 Russian drones attacked Ukraine yesterday and caused damage to the country’s transport infrastructure.
