Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on his allies to speed up the imposition of new sanctions on Russia on Thursday, after Moscow launched a nighttime attack lasting hours on Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles.
Zelensky stated on social media: “Sanctions must be imposed more quickly, and the pressure on Russia must be strong enough for it to feel the consequences of its terrorism,” noting that Russia had launched around 18 missiles and 400 drones.
