The biggest Russian air raid since the beginning of the war-Selenskyj is hoping for US response
Russia has attacked Ukraine as much in recent days than ever since the invasion. US President Trump therefore indicates new sanctions.
After the biggest Russian air raid on Ukraine since the beginning of the war, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has expressed his hope of a determined reaction from the United States. It is important that there is a “broad reaction of the partners”, Selenskyj said on Sunday in his every evening video address and added: “We count on a strong reaction. This is exactly what we need.”
Russia had attacked Ukraine on Sunday night according to Ukrainian information with at least 810 drones and a dozen rockets. Several high -rise buildings were damaged in Kyiv, the seat of government caught fire. Several people were killed in the attacks.
Great attack on Ukraine: USA is “ready to increase pressure on Russia”
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump confirmed his willingness to further sanctions against Russia. When asked by a reporter whether he was ready for a new phase of punitive measures, he replied in front of the White House on Sunday, “yes, that’s me”. He did not provide any further information.
Minister Scott Bessent meanwhile told the broadcaster NBC that the US government was “ready to increase the pressure on Russia”. It is important, however, that the EU is also involved. If the United States and the EU together agreed on further sanctions and punitive tariffs against countries that buy Russian oil, “the Russian economy will collapse,” said Bessent. This will eventually “bring the Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table”.
