Zelenskyy Condemns Deadly Russian Attack on Ukraine: "Silence Encourages Putin"

On May 25, 2025, a large-scale Russian attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities and villages. The assault involved hundreds of drones and missiles, causing significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and a university dormitory in Kyiv. The attack resulted in numerous casualties, with at least 12 deaths and dozens of injuries, according to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. President Zelenskyy condemned the attack as a "terrorist act" and criticized the perceived lack of decisive international response, stating, "The silence of America and others in the world only encourages Putin." Despite the devastation, the video also highlights the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the ongoing efforts to provide aid and support to victims. The second stage of a large prisoner exchange also took place the day before, bringing home over 300 Ukrainian defenders. This event serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and the human cost of war.
