Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on his allies in the United States and Europe to increase pressure on Moscow after Russia launched an enormous drone and missile attack against his country on Friday.

“If someone is not applying pressure and is giving the war more time to take lives, that is complicity and accountability. We must act decisively,” he wrote on social media platform X.
