Russia launched extensive missile and drone strikes across Ukraine on Friday, causing power cuts in large parts of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, and eight other regions.
Two people were killed and at least 20 people were injured in the attack, Ukrainian officials said.
In a post on X following the attack, Zelensky wrote that the “cynical and calculated attack” targeted civilian and energy infrastructure.
“What’s needed is not empty words but decisive action – from the United States, Europe and the G7 – in delivering air defence systems and enforcing sanctions,” he wrote.
“Every sanction decision weakens Russia’s war machine,” Zelensky wrote, in a separate post.
Also on Friday, Zelensky told the BBC he would urge Sir Keir to join the PURL programme, under which Nato countries buy weapons from the US to give to Ukraine.
While praising the UK’s strong support for Kyiv, he said it should send a clear signal that it would take part in the system, as well as impose more sanctions on Russia.
