Zelensky urges ‘no pause in pressure on Russia’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said foreign aid workers were at a hotel struck by a Russian missile overnight but were unharmed and urged “no pause” in pressure on Russia to halt the war.

“Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization — citizens of Ukraine, the United States and the United Kingdom — had checked into the hotel. They survived,” Zelensky said in a post on social media, adding: “There must be no pause in the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life.” (AFP)
