Global Inaction Fuels Russian Aggression: Zelenskiy Highlights Weaknesses

President Zelenskiy criticizes global inaction on combating Russian missile strikes, pointing to a lack of air defenses in Ukraine and reliable means to destroy launchers. His comments followed a deadly attack on Kharkiv, calling the weakness a global failure to address terrorism effectively.

Moscow is taking advantage of the lack of both air defences in Ukraine and reliable capability to destroy Russian launchers, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday following a deadly missile strike on the northeastern city of Kharkiv.

"And this weakness is not ours, but the world's, which has not dared to deal with terrorists in the way they deserve for three years," he said on X.
