After the overnight attacks, President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on X on Feb. 11 that each Russian strike "undermines trust in everything being done diplomatically to end this war" and "proves that only strong pressure on Russia and clear security guarantees for Ukraine are the real key to stopping the killings."
"As long as pressure on the aggressor is insufficient and as long as security for us – for Ukraine – is not guaranteed, nothing else works. The Russian army is not preparing to stop — they are preparing to continue fighting," Zelensky said.
The attacks come as diplomatic activity intensifies around efforts to end the war, with trilateral talks involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia potentially resuming as early as this week.
