Zelensky considers tough reaction to Russian strikes on infrastructure necessary
KYIV. Sept 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A tough and principled reaction is needed to every manifestation of Russian terror, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Thursday evening.
Speaking about the meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, he said that he “told about a new and particularly vile tactic of Russian terrorists – attacks on energy and hydrotechnical infrastructure.”
“Just during the stay of the President of the European Commission in Ukraine, the Russian army launched new missile attacks on Kryvyi Rih, on Kirovohrad region. In both cases – on hydrotechnical structures. The purpose of these strikes is completely clear. These are attacks on people, on the normality of life in Ukraine,” he said.
“We must show that there will always be a tough and principled reaction to every manifestation of Russian terror. That is why the eighth EU sanctions package is needed – we talked about it with Mrs. Ursula,” the president noted.
He again recalled that “a principled decision by the United States of America regarding the terrorist state, the legal recognition of this status is also needed, and we discussed this, by the way, recently during the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Kyiv. We also discuss this issue during contacts with congressmen.”
