KYIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Feb 3 that Ukraine was waiting for US reaction to Russia’s overnight attack on his country’s cities that caused further damage to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
“We expect a response from the United States to the Russian strikes. It was America’s proposal to stop strikes on energy infrastructure during diplomat efforts and the cold winter period,” Mr Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
Mr Zelensky said Ukraine had been expected to make concessions, but it was also up to Russia to make concessions, mainly “to stop the aggression”.
