President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia’s strike on Ukraine, particularly Kyiv, on the night of 27-28 August is also a strike against Europe and against US President Donald Trump.

Quote: "This strike [the Russian attack on the night of 27-28 August – ed.] clearly shows that Russia’s goals have not changed. They want war – and they are striking not only our people, not only our cities and communities. Russia is now striking at everyone in the world who seeks peace."

Details: Zelenskyy said that "this is a strike against Europe. And it is also a strike by Russia against President Trump, and against other global actors".

Quote: "In Washington, we heard that Putin is supposedly ready to end the war – to meet at the leaders’ level and resolve key issues. But instead, he chooses ballistic missiles over any real steps towards peace. He kills children in order not to talk about when and how peace will come. The problem is that he is not afraid to strike even against the leaders he makes promises to." 

More details: Zelenskyy also stressed that a number of countries, including China, India, and other countries in Asia and Latin America, are still trading with Russia. "With such strikes and such killings, Russia is simply drawing them into being its accomplices," he said.
