Ukraine's Leader Calls Out Russia's Tactics Ahead of Big Meeting

Before stepping into the White House, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took to social media to accuse Russia of targeting civilians.

Deliberate Attacks on Civilians

He shared a video showing a burning apartment building with huge holes in the roof. This was no accident, he said. It was a deliberate move by Russia to create chaos and put pressure on Ukraine and Europe.

Casualties and Locations

At least 10 people were killed
Many more were hurt
Strikes hit different places, including:
Kharkiv
Zaporizhzhia
Sumy region

Energy Facility Attack in Odesa

Zelenskyy also mentioned that Russia hit an energy facility in Odesa, which was owned by Azerbaijan. This, he said, was not just an attack on Ukraine but also on their relationship and energy security.

Putin's Intentions

He made it clear that Russia's leader, Putin, was trying to keep the pressure on. He wanted to make sure Ukraine and Europe felt the heat. It was also a way to make diplomatic efforts look weak.

Call for Help and Security Guarantees

Zelenskyy said they needed help to stop the killings. He emphasized that Ukraine needed strong security guarantees. He also made it clear that Russia should not be rewarded for starting this war. The war needed to end, and Moscow needed to hear one word: "Stop."

Timing of Accusations

It's important to note that these accusations come just before a big meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump. The timing is crucial. It shows that Ukraine is not backing down. They are making their voice heard loud and clear. The world is watching, and Ukraine is using this platform to highlight the ongoing crisis.
