Zelensky Accuses US of Inaction as Russian Strikes Kill Nearly 80 in Two Days

Over the course of two days, Russian attacks resulted in the deaths of over 70 individuals throughout Ukraine, leading President Volodymyr Zelensky to express frustration with Washington's lack of support. On Thursday, a bombing in the eastern city of Kramatorsk struck two buses, killing at least 35 people, as reported by local officials. That evening, a drone strike claimed two additional lives in Kramatorsk, maintaining the death toll at 35. In southeastern Dnipropetrovsk, a guided aerial bomb killed two, while one fatality occurred in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk. Zelensky condemned the US for fostering economic relations with Russia while attempting to mediate the ongoing conflict, which has persisted for over four years. Additionally, Ukraine is requesting increased Starlink satellite access to bolster its air defense capabilities. US Senator Marco Rubio noted that the war has reached a stalemate.
