“Zelenskyi said that Russia is inventing pretexts for strikes on Kyiv after progress in relations between Ukraine and the United States.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua

Direct speech: “Another lie of the Russian Federation. It is clear that yesterday we had a meeting with Trump and it is clear that for the Russians, if we do not have a scandal with America, and we have progress, then for them it is a failure. They do not want to end this war. They are able to end it only because of pressure on them. And (they – ed.) were looking for reasons, I am sure of this… they are moving on.
Advertising:
Now, with this statement that some residence was attacked, they are simply preparing, I am sure, the ground for striking the capital, and probably state buildings.”
Details: Zelensky reminded that the Russian Federation had already attacked the Cabinet building with missiles in September.
“That’s why everyone needs to be careful now, everyone absolutely. There may be an attack on the capital. Especially since this person – if you can say and call it a person – said that they will select appropriate targets, i.e. threaten,” he said, adding that US President Donald Trump, his team and the Europeans should get involved and “conduct appropriate work with people who were talking about yesterday that they really want to end the war.”
Beforehistory:
- On Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Ukraine allegedly struck the residence of Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday night, which will “revise the negotiating position.”
- They also said that the Russian Federation had already chosen the targets for retaliatory strikes and the time of their delivery.
