The Russian forces seized three other settlements along the front lines during the weekend, as Ukrainian Prime Minister Voludimir Zelinski criticized the United States and its allies on the “silence” of the apparent “silence” after the Moscow attacks.
The Kremlin invasion force took the villages of Stupochky and OTRADNE in the Donetsk region, as well as the village of Luknah in the Sumi area, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Moscow described the progress as evidence that its forces were slowly but steadily in Kiev's defenses, as the attacks were brought after Russia fired 367 drones across 30 Ukrainian cities and village on Saturday evening.
In response to the barrage overnight, who killed at least 12 people, Zelinski asked where the international condemnation was against Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“The silence of America, the silence of others in the world only encourages Putin,” Zelinski said in a statement.
He added: “Every Russian -terrorist strike is enough for new sanctions against Russia,” noting that Washington refused to punish Moscow for its rejection repeatedly and repeated the ceasefire deals.
Kiev also refuted Russia's allegations that it had taken the three villages from Sunday, claiming that its forces are still in the regions.
Although any of the two parties cannot be verified independently due to the severe fighting, the famous Ukrainian military blog confirmed that the Russians had for the first time, “they managed to hold positions” along the border villages in Sumi.
Kiev Moscow was accused of pressing as much regional gains as much as possible in the United States to back down against Putin.
Despite the claim that it will end the war on the “first day” of his second presidential term, President Trump has now suggested that he can stay away from the negotiating table.
The United States also refused to join the UK in announcing a new round of sanctions against the so -called “Shadow Fleet” in Russia last week, and targeting nearly 200 ships used to transport Russian oil all over the world.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said that the administration will continue to pay a draft law to impose a 500 % tariff on Russian oil and gas buyers if progress has not been made in a peace deal, but added that it may still be declining at Trump's will.
“[The president] “At the present time, it begins to threaten the sanctions, and the Russians will stop speaking, and there is a value that we can speak and lead it to reach the table,” Rubio said in a statement.
