Zelenskyy Calls for More Western Support Amid Russian Attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for urgent support from Western allies following Russia's launch of over 200 missiles and drones in one of the largest attacks on Ukraine. This assault, which targeted critical civilian infrastructure and resulted in multiple casualties, underscores the need for enhanced cooperation between Ukraine's air defense systems and those of European neighbors. Zelenskyy emphasized that weakness in global responses enables Russian aggression, stating that 'the time for decisive action is now.' He firmly asserted that Ukraine should not be restricted in its military capabilities while Russia employs its full arsenal. This plea for assistance comes amid ongoing efforts to repair damage across the nation and ensure energy stability ahead of winter. The Kremlin, meanwhile, has dismissed any negotiation talks, asserting that Ukraine's actions will elicit a response.
