LIVE, war in Ukraine: the easing of pressure convinces Vladimir Putin "that his goals are achievable," laments Volodymyr Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the slowdown in air defense system deliveries from allies, stating that Russia is exploiting this situation. He highlighted recent missile strikes, including one with cluster munitions, which targeted civilian areas in Kyiv. Zelensky emphasized the need for stronger international pressure on Russia to deter its aggressive actions. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian energy company is preparing for winter by developing scenarios to manage the impact of ongoing Russian attacks. Evacuations are ordered in areas under threat, as the situation deteriorates with daily attacks on civilian infrastructure. Additionally, a Ukrainian national was arrested in Germany for allegedly gathering military intelligence for Russia.
