Saturday’s Coverage: Zelensky — “The Gas-Station Country Now Buys Gasoline”
The Russians hit two trains on Saturday, setting the carriages on fire. They attacked again after first responders gathered at the site.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky posted video of the burning carriages.
The Russians could not have been unaware that they were striking civilians. And this is terror the world must not ignore. Every day Russia takes people’s lives. And only strength can make them stop. We’ve heard resolute statements from Europe and America – and it’s high time to turn them all into reality, together with everyone who refuses to accept murder and terror as normal. Lip service is not enough now. Strong action is needed.

In his nightly address to the nation, Zelensky spoke of dozens of Russian drones attacking energy facilities, railways, and other civilian infrastructure in the Sumy and Cherhihiv regions.
“The electricity situation remains difficult…but every effort is being made to restore the power supply,” he said.
The President reiterated:
Russia ignores or rebuffs literally every opportunity to end the war and guarantee security. Putin wants to wage it, and do it by terrorist, despicable methods. Russia must feel the consequences.

Europe, America, the G7, and the G20 have the power to deal with any terrorist. pic.twitter.com/u6QP0awY47
