Zelensky: Allies Failed to Warn Ukraine Ahead of Kyiv Missile Strikes
The Ukrainian president claimed Russia violated Trump's ceasefire initiative and criticized Western partners for providing no early intelligence warning prior to strikes on the capital.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv's Western allies failed to provide early warning ahead of a Russian ballistic missile attack on the capital, in which five missiles struck civilian infrastructure, Reuters and The Guardian reported. Zelensky described the assault as particularly vile, emphasizing that intelligence sharing from Western partners is critical to saving lives.
Meanwhile, according to The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post, Zelensky asserted that Russia failed to heed and violated the ceasefire proposal announced by US President Donald Trump. He noted that Ukraine had halted strikes on Russian oil refineries for two days following Trump's announcement, reiterating that de-escalation requires reciprocal Russian commitment. Further details have not yet been released.
