"KYIV -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded a "strong" US response to the latest massive drone strike by Russia on Kyiv, one in which a government building was hit for the first time since the start of Moscow's full-scale invasion in February 2022. "It is important that there is a broad response from partners to this attack today," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. "We are counting on a strong response from America. That is what is needed.""
""Clearly, Russia is trying to inflict pain on Ukraine with even more brazen attacks. This is a clear sign that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is testing the world -- whether they will accept or tolerate this," Zelenskyy said. "That is why it is important that the statements of leaders, states, and institutions be backed by strong actions -- sanctions against Russia, against individuals associated with Russia, tough tariffs and other restrictions on trade with Russia," he added."

He called for a broad partner response and urged that leaders back statements with strong actions, including sanctions, penalties targeting individuals, tough tariffs and trade restrictions on Russia. Zelenskyy described the attack as a test by Vladimir Putin to see whether the world will tolerate brazen assaults. U.S. President Donald Trump said he is moving closer to punitive measures but provided no detailed actions. Allies have already imposed financial measures that weakened the Russian economy.
