Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused the United States of being too slow in its response to Russia’s recent actions, implying that this hesitancy emboldens Russian President Vladimir Putin.

These comments come after Ukraine experienced what it described as the largest Russian air assault of the war to date, targeting various regions across the country.

The attacks involved a significant number of missiles and drones, hitting energy infrastructure and other civilian targets.

Reports indicate that the strikes caused widespread damage and power outages, impacting several Ukrainian cities and towns.

Ukrainian air defenses attempted to intercept the incoming projectiles, but a substantial number still reached their targets.

Zelenskyy specifically mentioned the impact on Ukrainian citizens, noting the severity of the strikes and the implications for daily life.

He has urged Western allies, particularly the US, to provide more robust and timely military assistance, including advanced air defense systems.

The Ukrainian government continues to assess the full extent of the damage and casualties resulting from the attacks.

International condemnation of Russia’s actions has been widespread, with various countries and organizations expressing support for Ukraine.

The US government has issued statements condemning the attacks, reaffirming its commitment to supporting Ukraine, but Zelenskyy’s remarks suggest a perceived gap between promises and delivered aid.
