We would add
Zelenskyy emphasized that the Russians know perfectly well that they are striking ordinary cities and ordinary lives. And the continued use of missiles against Ukraine, against people and children, is an absolutely conscious choice of terror.
This is precisely what Moscow chooses, despite all our efforts with our partners to bring peace closer. And this is a clear reason why more pressure needs to be applied to Russia and why Ukraine needs more defense packages. It is important that leaders understand this. It is important that the world not remain silent today
We would remind you
