Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the American leader supports strikes on Russian targets – energy and oil facilities.
He spoke about it in an interview with Axios.
During the UN General Assembly, Zelenskyy asked Trump for a new weapons system that would force Russia to sit at the negotiating table.
“I told him yesterday that we need only one thing. We need it, but that doesn’t mean we’ll use it. Because if we have it, it’s additional pressure on Putin to sit down and talk,” the president said.
To his request, Trump replied: “We’ll work on it.”
According to Zelensky, Ukraine will not attack the civilian population, but Russian power centers, including the Kremlin, may be under attack.
“They need to know where the bomb shelters are. They need it. If they don’t stop the war, they will need it anyway. They need to know that we in Ukraine will respond every day. If they attack us, we will respond to them,” the Ukrainian leader emphasized.
As a reminder, on the night of September 24 , Russian regions were attacked by drones from several directions at once – the strikes fell on the Kursk and Belgorod regions, as well as the city of Taganrog in Rostov Oblast. As a result of the attacks, settlements were left without electricity, there were injuries, and industrial infrastructure was damaged.
By the way, earlier , units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation , hitting important military and economic facilities.
