Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday called for stronger international action against Russia, urging allies to impose tougher sanctions and provide Kyiv with long-range strike capabilities.

Zelensky said Russia launched over 1,500 drones, 1,280 guided bombs, and 50 missiles in a single week, with thousands of foreign-made components traced to Europe, the US, China, Japan, and other nations. He warned that Moscow’s unchecked aggression could threaten Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

“Russia must feel the consequences of what it is doing. Adequate counteraction is needed — sanctions, pressure, and strengthening our army with long-range capabilities,” Zelensky posted on X.

The appeal comes as the EU proposes its 19th sanctions package targeting Russian banks, LNG imports, and companies aiding Moscow’s war effort. EU Vice-President Kaja Kallas said the measures are designed to cripple Russia’s military industry and revenues until peace is restored.
