As the head of state noted, Ukrainians saw the world's reaction to the previous shelling.
However, now, when the aggressor country once again demonstrates that it doesn't care about words, Ukraine is waiting for real actions from its allies.
"It is clear that Moscow has used the time allocated for preparing the meeting at the leadership level to prepare new massive strikes. The only way to reopen the window of opportunity for diplomacy is tough tariffs against everyone who pumps money into the Russian army, and effective sanctions against Moscow itself — banking and energy," Zelensky said.
The President of Ukraine also reminded that this war will not end with political statements — real solutions are needed.
"We are waiting for the actions of America, Europe, and the whole world," the head of state added.
