By Felo News Desk · Published
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticised the United States for not providing sufficient defence support after a Russian strike on two buses in Kramatorsk that killed at least 35 people. The attack was part of a two‑day Russian offensive that left 78 dead and 215 injured, the Independent reported on 9 October. Zelensky urged Washington to grant full access to the Starlink satellite network so Ukrainian forces can target Russian ballistic missile launchers. He also called on former President Donald Trump to increase sanctions against Russia and said European allies are expected to join the negotiations. A Ukrainian delegation, including chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov, will travel to Florida this weekend for talks aimed at ending the war.
