Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized the United States’ response to the latest and largest Russian attack on Ukraine since the war began.

The attack, described as the most extensive to date, involved a barrage of missiles and drones targeting various Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

Zelenskyy implied that the US’s perceived lack of a strong response, potentially meaning slower or insufficient aid, has emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He stated that he believes the US silence, or perceived lack of action, encouraged the attack.

The specific details of the attack, including the locations targeted and the extent of the damage, are still being assessed by Ukrainian authorities.

Reports indicate civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure, including energy facilities and residential buildings.

This latest escalation underscores the ongoing intensity of the war and the vulnerability of Ukrainian cities to Russian strikes.

The US has been a major provider of military and financial aid to Ukraine, but Zelenskyy’s comments suggest a perceived inadequacy in the current level of support or speed of delivery.

International condemnation of the attack has been widespread, with calls for further support for Ukraine and an end to the conflict.

The situation remains fluid, and the impact of the attack on the war’s trajectory is yet to be fully determined.
