Zelenskyy says he expects US response to Russian strikes

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that he expects a US response to the Russian missile attack on Ukraine on the night of 2-3 February, recalling that Donald Trump had personally asked for strikes on energy infrastructure to stop.

Quote: "We expect a response from the United States of America to the Russian strikes.

This was a proposal from America itself: to halt strikes on energy infrastructure amidst cold winter weather while the diplomatic process continues.

There was a personal request from the US president.

We have seen Russia answer that request with its heaviest ballistic missile barrage yet.

Not even four full days have passed since the week Russia was asked for this. This says everything about everything else Russia has promised or may still promise. If their word does not hold even now, what can we expect next?"

Details: Zelenskyy said that Russia had lied even before this war.

Quote: "They are incorrigible in Moscow. They want to exploit the cold because they cannot subdue us, Ukraine, with their assaults. Russia's bet on war must receive an answer from the world."

Background: On the night of 2-3 February, Russia carried out a combined strike on Ukraine using missiles of various types from air and ground launch platforms and attack UAVs. Ukraine's air defence has downed 450 Russian assets out of 521 launched. Impacts from 27 missiles and 31 attack UAVs have been recorded at 27 locations.
