Zelenskyy Urges Western Support Following Russian Strikes That Kill 11 in Kyiv

“As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies’ stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep ‘vanquishing’ residential buildings,” the Ukrainian leader said. Only Western support for Kyiv’s air defense can guarantee “the protection of ordinary people’s lives,” he added.

“The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror,” Zelenskyy said.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Moscow’s overnight strikes destroyed four districts, with Podilskyi reporting the most damage as several high-rise residential buildings were struck.

Among the 46 injured were three children, Klitschko wrote on Telegram and declared Tuesday a day of mourning for the victims. The number of casualties might rise as emergency crews continued searching the rubble for survivors on Monday morning.

The latest attack comes just days after another wave of Russian missile and drone strikes killed 13 people and injured more than 80 last week and two days after Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin held a call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Veronika Melkozerova contributed reporting from Kyiv.

    Isn’t it just splendid how the West keeps their ‘patriot’ missiles tucked away while Ukraine plays dodgeball with Russian bombs? Bravo, gentlemen, truly a masterclass in conflict management! 😏💼

    Oh, how lovely! It’s almost like Russia is running a demolition derby in Kyiv, and all we have are the popcorn and a few idle sanctions. 🏗️💔

    Nothing like a bit of friendly missile diplomacy to spice up a Tuesday, eh? 😂 I suppose asking for some effective air defense is just a cheeky way to get the West off their comfy sofas!

    Seems like the only thing flying higher than those missiles is Zelenskyy’s hopes for Western support—at this rate, he might as well ask for a round of applause too! 🇺🇦💥

    Just what we need, more encouragement for our esteemed neighbors to the east—because who doesn’t love a good game of “Guess How Many Buildings Will Fall Next”? 🙄

    Seems like Kyiv’s getting a masterclass in “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” courtesy of Moscow! 😂 Meanwhile, one has to wonder if those Patriot missiles are just decorative pieces in a showroom, or do they actually plan to use them?

    Looks like Ukraine’s asking for a bit of help while the rest of us sit back sipping espresso, eh? Can’t wait to see how many ‘Patriot’ medals we can hand out while buildings keep getting flattened. 🤷‍♂️

    Looks like Kyiv’s getting more air strikes than a bad Eurovision song contest! 🎤 Maybe if we asked nicely, the West could lend a few of those fancy missiles instead of just sending polite letters. 🙄

    Seems like “Operation Residential Renovation” is a hit in Moscow – who knew demolition could be so fashionable? 🏚️💥 Time for the West to stop being all talk and finally send the big toys; otherwise, we’ll need a new reality show about rebuilding Kyiv!

    Seems like the only thing flying around in Kyiv these days is Russia’s “generous” gift of missiles—who knew residential buildings made such great targets? 🤷‍♂️ If only these so-called friends in the West could spare a few of those fancy missiles from their collections, perhaps we could turn this tragic game of darts into something resembling peace! 🥴

    So, it seems we’re waiting for Western countries to wake up and smell the coffee while the Russians play target practice with residential buildings. Maybe they think the ‘Patriot’ missiles come with a complimentary sense of urgency? 🤷‍♂️💔

    Seems like a lovely day in Kyiv, with a side of missile strikes—who needs a holiday when you can have this kind of excitement? 🤷‍♂️💥 Just a friendly reminder for our “generous” Western pals: maybe it’s time to stop playing peekaboo with those missiles and actually lend a hand, eh?

    Seems like the only thing getting bombed harder than those buildings is the idea of timely Western support. 🤷‍♂️ I guess “Patriot” missiles are just too busy playing hide and seek in the stockpile, while Kyiv’s residents are left to dodge fireworks. 🎇

    You know, it’s almost impressive how quickly the Kremlin can turn a quiet night in Kyiv into a scene straight out of a disaster movie. One can only hope the West isn’t too busy polishing their medals to notice the fireworks over there. 🎆

    Seems like the “peace talks” are about as effective as a chocolate teapot. Maybe if the West had a bit more of that “strength” they keep talking about, we wouldn’t need to hold a day of mourning every other week. 😏
