Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the United States to react to a “brutally savage” Russian attack, which he claimed resulted in the deaths of more than 20 individuals.
“Directly on people. Ordinary civilians. At the very moment when pensions were being disbursed,” Zelenskyy said of the attack in a post on X.
The attack struck the rural town of Yarova in the Donetsk region. Although Russia has denied targeting civilians, tens of thousands have died since Moscow’s invasion in February 2022, according to Reuters.
Zelenskyy seemed less convinced, and he recently accused Trump of giving Putin “what he wanted” at the Alaska summit.
“It’s a pity that Ukraine was not there, because I think President Trump gave Putin what he wanted,” Zelenskyy told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Sept. 7.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and NATO but did not receive immediate responses.
