Zelenskyy calls for action against Russian and Iranian terror
Ukrainian President condemned on Sunday, comparing them to the Russian strikes that have been targeting Ukraine for the past two years.
“We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks by Russia, which uses the same ‘Shahed’ and Russian missiles, the same tactics of mass air strikes,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Russia has been using Iranian-produced “Shahed” kamikaze drones since shortly after the invasion began. Iran fired over 300 missiles and drones toward Israel on Saturday night, the vast majority of which were reportedly shot down.
Zelenskyy said that the “obvious collaboration” between Moscow and Tehran “in spreading terror must face a resolute and united response from the world.”
“This sound [of drones] must serve as a wake-up call to the free world, demonstrating that only our unity and resoluteness can save lives and prevent the spread of terror worldwide,” he added before once again calling on US Congress to agree to a key aid package for Ukraine that has been held up for months by Republicans.
