Zelensky Calls Out Washington for Silence
Yesterday’s Russian missile salvo came out of the Black Sea, and President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that the U.S. finally step up. He’s not shy about blaming Moscow for tamping down diplomacy and holding onto the power to strike from the sea. “Putin’s not about ending the war—he’s busy looking for ways to launch a bigger one whenever he wants,” the Ukrainian leader rapped.
Black‑Sea Missiles: A Game of Hide‑and‑Seek
Zelensky underscored that the ships launching the missiles were known and the launch point was clear: “Our partners know which ships they were and from which part of the sea this launch took place.” That’s the kind of transparency one wants when dealing with an adversary who refuses a total, unconditional ceasefire.
Why a Ceasefire Must Be Unconditional
- It stops the flow of missiles.
- It protects ports and small towns from a sea‑borne assault.
- It gives Ukraine time to strengthen its air defence and to keep sanctions on a steady march.
What Ukraine Wants
“Ukraine has agreed to America’s proposal—for a full, unconditional ceasefire,” the president insisted. “And Putin refuses. We’re waiting for the U.S. reaction – no one’s spoken up yet. We’re also waiting for Europe, and anyone else who wants peace.”
On the Front Lines: A Snapshot of the Night
- Ukrainian forces shot down: 13 Russian missiles, 40 Shahed drones, plus other aerial threats.
- Russian arsenal fired: 23 missiles, 9 cruise missiles, 8 Kalibr cruise missiles, 6 Iskander ballistic missiles, and 109 Shahed drones over Kyiv and five other regions.
