TRIBUTE TO UKRAINIAN PEOPLE
Russia’s advances on the battlefield have slowed this year and Ukraine has recaptured some land in the southeast. However, Moscow’s forces are threatening the strategic eastern city of Kostiantynivka in the eastern region of Donetsk – which forms part of Donbas, together with the Luhansk region.
Exploiting Ukraine’s critical shortage of anti-ballistic missiles, Russia has also stepped up its campaign of air strikes at cities far from the front line this summer.
Ukraine has also increased its long-range attacks on Russian refineries and logistics infrastructure, aimed at undermining Moscow’s war effort.
Paying tribute to the people and soldiers defending Ukraine in the war, Zelenskyy also called on allies to give it “everything” needed to stop the war.
Urging them to bring Russia to the negotiating table and hit it with more sanctions, Zelenskyy said he hoped that “all the contradictions and fears” the United States has regarding Russia will disappear.
“China must no longer remain silent,” he added.
Other dignitaries present for the celebrations included Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden, Moldova’s President Maia Sandu and Estonia’s President Alar Karis, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X, posting photos of the officials arriving at the Kyiv station.
