Ukrainian President Zelensky accuses US of inaction after Russian strikes kill 78 in two days

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused the United States of unwillingness to help Ukraine following Russian attacks that killed 78 people and wounded 215 over two days, including a strike on Kramatorsk that hit two buses. He urged the US to expand Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite services to improve air defence and target Russian missile launchers.

Why it matters. The accusation highlights growing strain in Ukraine-US relations amid ongoing Russian aerial bombardment, affecting diplomatic efforts and Ukraine's ability to defend against sustained attacks on civilian areas.
