While visiting the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, President Volodymyr Zelensky assured that a response to today’s massive attack is coming.

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, the president made this statement to journalists.

When asked by a journalist what he would say to Vladimir Putin following this attack, Zelensky replied: “We’ll have our say.”

According to the president, it was no coincidence that the Russians launched a massive strike on Ukraine immediately after Putin congratulated U.S. President Donald Trump on his birthday.

“As always, he cynically congratulated the President of the United States and then launched a massive strike on Ukraine. I think it’s no coincidence that for several days they weren’t just gathering missiles—we saw that they had the necessary forces; they were waiting not to do this until after President Trump’s birthday,” Zelensky emphasized.

Otherwise, he said, the U.S. president’s team and Trump himself would have raised the issue of a massive strike.
