Zelenskyy: We need to put pressure on Russia, not waste time in empty talk
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called it dangerous to hush up Russia's guilt in the attack on Kryvyi Rih, as it incites Russia to continue the war and ignore diplomacy. Source: Zelenskyy's evening address Quote: "Last night and today, many in the world have declared their position after this strike [on Kryvyi Rih - ed.] - a position of clear rejection of Russian terror.
Not only we in Ukraine but the whole world should be grateful to everyone who sees this and does not turn a blind eye but speaks the truth clearly and unequivocally.

That is why I am grateful to every country whose representatives have spoken out: leaders, foreign ministers, embassies."
Details: Zelenskyy stressed that "Russia must be held accountable for everything they have done, and we need to put pressure on them there - really put pressure, not waste time in an empty talk - to end this war".
