When asked by a journalist what he would say to Vladimir Putin after this attack, Zelenskyy replied: "And we will say more."
According to the head of state, it was no coincidence that the Russians launched a massive strike on Ukraine just after Putin congratulated US President Donald Trump on his birthday.
He, as always, greeted the President of the United States with an absolutely cynical greeting and then launched a massive strike on Ukraine. I think it is no coincidence that for several days they not only collected missiles — we saw that they had the appropriate forces, they waited so as not to do this until President Trump greeted them.

Otherwise, according to him, the US president's team and he himself would have raised the question of a massive strike.
Russia carried out another massive strike on Ukraine last night. Air defense forces neutralized 50 missiles and 582 drones that the Russian invaders had been using to attack the country since the evening of June 14. The main target of the strike was Kyiv.
