Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Ukraine expects a firm response from Western countries to the relentless Russian drone attacks occurring almost daily on its territory.

“Our partners must understand that these Russian strikes target not only our people, but also all international efforts, diplomatic efforts aimed at ending this war,” Zelenskyy stated in his nightly video address. He noted that 172 drones had been directed at Ukraine overnight.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Russia’s strikes are aimed at undermining efforts toward peace. “Russia is striking against everyone who seeks to end the war. It is impossible to ignore hundreds of (Iranian-designed) Shaheds every night.”

The Ukrainian leader called for a decisive reaction from the West, particularly the United States, Europe, and all nations that believe in diplomacy. “We expect a response, a serious response. We are working to ensure there is a strong reaction, especially from America, Europe and all those in the world who rely on diplomacy.”

As the drone strikes continue, Ukraine looks to its allies for a robust and coordinated response that can push back against Russia’s ongoing aggression.
