During his participation in the United Nations General Assembly, Zelensky said in an interview with American media: If Russia doesn't stop the war, officials in the Kremlin must know where the bomb shelter is and they need it.The potential implication is that if Russia does not stop military operations, Ukraine may directly attack the Kremlin and carry out precision strikes against Putin and other senior Russian officials.
Less than 72 hours after Zelensky's speech, Russia responded quickly.On the evening of the 27th to the morning of the 28th, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine, launching 643 drones and 48 missiles, mainly aimed at Kiev, for 12 hours.
Zelensky, with the support of the United States, continues to fight from persuasion to support for Ukraine.
Trump's stance on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict muted, allowing Zelensky to see "the twist of hope", and he then adjusted his gesture, and the attitude became tough, as if the gambler was reluctant to miss any chance of winning.
Now, Trump is completely on the side of Ukraine, intending to let NATO and the European Union increase military aid and economic support to Ukraine, help it win back all its territory, and encourage Europe to shoot down Russian warplanes.
Trump's transition from persuading peace to supporting Ukraine to continue fighting gave Zelensky great confidence, and he began to resume or even "intensify" his face towards Russia in the early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
When attending the United Nations General Assembly, Zelensky accepted an exclusive interview with US media. Trump has explicitly allowed to attack key targets such as energy and infrastructure within Russia.。 Zelensky also strongly stated, If Russia does not cease the war, Kremlin officials need to know the location of the defensive hole, or hint it will strike the Kremlin.。
Zelensky met with Trump in New York, saying the two sides reached an important deal of about $90 billion on the purchase of U.S. weapons.
In 12 hours, the Russian Army fired 595 drones and 48 missiles.
Less than 72 hours after Zelensky made the statement, the Russian side responded.
According to Ukrainian media reports, on the night of 27th to 28th, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine mainly targeting Kiev, which lasted for 12 hours and launched 643 drones and 48 missiles of various types (including the "Dagger" hypersonic missile system). A total of 643 waves were launched. Such intensive attacks destroyed Ukraine's air defense network. Although Ukraine claimed to have shot down or interfered with 611 targets, it still recorded 5 missiles and 31 drones hitting them, and 16 to 25 locations were affected.
The attack killed 4 people and injured more than 70 others. More than 20 locations in Kiev were severely damaged. A five-story building was blown up, residential infrastructure in many areas was damaged, and fires broke out in many places.
The mayor of Kiev said the capital was undergoing a “massive” attack, with at least six people injured, five sent to doctors, and one was disposed of on the scene, and he called on the people to stay in shelters.
In addition, an air raid alarm was sounded in Udodi, and southeastern Zaporizhzhia Oblast was also attacked. At least four people were injured and many residents fled to subway stations. The director of the Ukrainian President's Office said that residential buildings and infrastructure were targeted and it was a "war against civilians."
After the air strikes, Zelensky sharply criticized Russia, saying that the " cowardly attack" selected at the closing of the UN General Assembly was intended to highlight the strong stance of Russia's "continuing killing."He vowed to let Russia pay the price, saying that Ukraine continued to counteract, including cutting off Russian funding channels, calling on the international community to take substantial measures, and also urged the United States, the European Union and the G7 to act quickly to stop importing Russian materials.
03. Belarus and Poland have spoken out one after another
In response to Zelensky’s strong threat, Russia sent a tough signal through Lukashenko. Lukashenko said he had discussed a favorable proposal with Putin and Putin would announce it in due course. He also said that Zelensky rejected that the situation would be more severe than at the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and could even lose the entire Ukraine. To avoid disadvantages, he suggested that Zelensky return to the negotiating table and accept terms favorable to Ukraine.
In response to Russia's military action against Ukraine, the Polish army responded quickly and implemented security measures: sending fighter planes to patrol domestic airspace, and the ground air defense system was on high alert. According to the Polish military, this is a preventive arrangement aimed at maintaining the safety of airspace and citizens, especially the safety of people in areas bordering Ukraine. In addition, Poland closed its airspace around Lublin and Rzeszow in the southeast, and the ban lasted at least until 4 a.m. GMT on September 28.
Russia launched air strikes against Ukraine, or in retaliation for Ukraine's previous continuous attacks on Russian energy targets. Ukraine has made a high-profile declaration of the results of the attack and claimed that Russia fell into an energy crisis. Moreover, after Zelensky made tough remarks, Russia was revealed to have formulated plans to occupy the entire territory of Ukraine. At present, the two sides are in a tough confrontation, and there is little hope of peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the short term.
