The recent conflict between Israel and Iran has complicated Ukraine’s situation, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has moved some unmanned aerial defense systems from Ukraine to the Middle East, which were initially given to counter Russia’s air assaults.
Moscow’s attack on Dnipro followed a deadly attack on Kyiv that killed 9 people and wounded over 30. In Dnipro, Russian missiles damaged more than 40 schools and kindergartens, a cathedral, a music hall, a sports arena, eight medical centers, hospitals, and many residential buildings. A passenger train from Odesa to Dnipro was also struck, reported by Filatov.
Zelenskyy is using his visit to the NATO summit in the Netherlands to encourage Ukraine’s allies to impose stricter sanctions on Russia and further isolate the Kremlin internationally. In February, Zelenskyy mentioned that the U.S. had aided Russia’s reemergence on the global stage; Trump has refused to impose additional sanctions on Moscow, suggesting “there’s a real chance of getting something done.”
“Russia cannot produce ballistic missiles without components from other countries. Russia cannot manufacture hundreds of other types of weapons without the parts, equipment, and expertise that this deranged regime in Moscow does not possess on its own. That is why it is so important to minimize the schemes that connect Russia with its accomplices,” Zelenskyy stated on Tuesday.
