(Central News Agency Washington/Kiev comprehensive foreign telegram on the 4th) After Russia launched the largest drone and missile attack on Ukraine today in three years, U.S. President Trump said today that Moscow only wants to “continue to kill people”, and he hinted that sanctions may be imposed on Russia.
According to AFP, Donald Trump said that his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday made him “very unhappy” and that the other party “want to go all the way and simply continue to kill people, which is not a good thing.”
Trump also revealed that he talked “a lot” about sanctions with Pu Ting, and he said the other party “understands this may happen.”
The call between Trump and Pu Ting ended without any breakthrough. After that, Russia launched a hours-long bombing on Ukraine, and people from all over Ukraine were forced to take refuge in emergency.
Several AFP reporters heard the noise of drones flying in the air in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and explosions were everywhere all night, including the sound of Ukrainian air defense systems resisting attacks.
A Kiev resident who has experienced the first few Russian attacks said that the offensive in the early morning felt different from before, “there has never been an attack like this in the past, and there have never been so many explosions.”
Kiev rescue units said at least 26 people were injured in Russia’s crackdown. Poland also said that its embassy building in Kiev was damaged in attack, but no one was injured.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with Sichuan Mandarin today. He later revealed on social media that the two sides agreed to cooperate to strengthen Ukraine’s defense.
“We talked about air defense opportunities and agreed to work together to strengthen the protection of our airspace,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky also said that when Trump and Putin’s call were still in progress yesterday, air strikes began to sound across Ukraine. He specifically called on the United States to strengthen pressure on Moscow.
Ukraine is essential for its ability to withstand the massive Russian drone and missile attacks. But Kiev is increasingly worried about whether the U.S. will continue to provide military aid, and the U.S. has announced this week that it will reduce some of it.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said this was a “clear signal” that means the EU, a 27-country EU, needs to “intensify” its actions. (Translator: Wu Baiwei/Reviewed by: Zhang Zhengqian) 1140705
