Zelenskiy says ‘Moscow will burn’ if Russian strikes continue

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned that 'Moscow will burn' if Russian attacks on Ukraine continue, following recent drone strikes targeting Moscow's oil refinery. At least 10 people were killed in Ukraine in a drone and missile attack that damaged a historic monastery in Kyiv. Zelenskiy is set to meet with Ukraine's military allies in Brussels to discuss the supply of air defenses via a NATO program and the development of an anti-ballistic missile system. He urged European and U.S. leaders to intensify economic and sector-specific sanctions against Russia to compel President Putin.

Scores of drones targeted Moscow overnight, hitting the Russian capital’s oil refinery for the second time this week.

“We don’t want this war, we never did, and everyone knows it, and our partners know it,” Zelenskiy said in a voice message sent to reporters on a WhatsApp group. “But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn.”

At least 10 people were killed on Monday across Ukraine in a drone and missile attack that damaged the 1,000-year-old Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery.

Zelenskiy was due to attend a meeting of Ukraine’s military allies in Brussels on Thursday. He said the supply of air defences to Ukraine through a NATO programme and the creation of an anti-ballistic missile system by Ukraine and its allies would be discussed at the meeting.

Zelenskiy called on Europe and the United states to increase pressure on Russia through sanctions on Russia’s defence and energy sectors and broader economy to force President Vladimir Putin into ending the war.

“Everyone need to put pressure on Putin: Ukrainians, absolutely all the Europeans, Americans, and Russians - it’s time to sober up and put pressure on their leader.”
