“Without really strong pressure on the Russian authorities, brutality cannot be detained. Sanctions will surely help,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who called for actions against “the weaknesses of the Russian economy” which, he said, “everyone knows.”
The president asked the United StatesEuropean countries and “all who seek peace that show determination” to bring the Russian president Vladimir Putin The “finishing the war”.

“Night of Terror”
Ukrainian emergency services described a “night of horror in the Kiev region” in a message on Telegram. “The massive night attack left four dead and 16 injured, including three children,” in the region.
“We saw that the whole street was on fire,” said Tetiana Yankovska, a 65 -year -old retired who survived an attack on Markhalivka, southwest Kiev, where material damage was recorded.
“The worst … There were wreckage on the bed pillow where a child should sleep,” added Yanokovska who reported, fled in February 2022 from the city of Avdiivka, now under Russian control in the East Donetsk region of Ukraine.
Another retired, 64 -year -old Oleksander also survived the bombing. He stated that he does not have much faith in ongoing negotiations. “We do not need negotiations, but weapons, many weapons, to contain them. Russia only understands strength, nothing more,” he said.
Dead children
Ukrainian emergency services also reported that a man was found dead in the Mykolaiv region after an attack with a drone. Four people died and five were injured in Russian attacks in the country of Khmelnytskyi, west of the country, according to rescue services.

End of prisoners
Despite the aggravation of the conflict, Russia and Ukraine concluded this Sunday the last stage of the prisoners’ exchange in the format of 1,000 to 1,000, awake during direct negotiations in Istanbul last week. This is the biggest exchange of prisoners of war since the beginning of the Russian invasion more than three years ago.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 303 prison soldiers were exchanged for the same number of Ukrainian military personnel on Sunday, after the exchanges made on Saturday (307 prisoners on each side) and Friday (270 soldiers and 120 civilians on each side).
