Zelenskyy: Sanctions loopholes keep Russia’s war machine running
Russia would not be able to wage war without assistance from “Russian accomplices” to bypass sanctions, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on Jan. 24, commenting on the overnight deadly Russian drone attack on Kyiv Oblast.
He expressed his condolences to the families and friends of the victims, adding that rescue operations in the Kyiv suburbs of Brovary and Hlevakha continued throughout the night.
“The injured are being provided with the necessary assistance. The rescue operation was completed only at 9 a.m.,” he said, thanking the State Emergencies Service, medical workers, and police officers for their efforts in providing assistance and saving people. He also expressed gratitude to international leaders who are pressuring Russia to end its war against Ukraine.
"There must be accountability for every component for the production of Shahed (drones) and missiles supplied in violation of sanctions. Russia would not be able to fight at all if the ability of Russian accomplices to support this terror and attacks on the front were really limited."
Three people were killed and at least two others injured in a Russian drone attack in the suburbs of Kyiv.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
