Zelenskyy calls for regime change in Russia as Kyiv attack kills 26

Ukrainian President raises concerns about Russia's ongoing threat following deadly Kyiv strikes.

Zelenskyy demands regime change in Russia as Kyiv attack claims 26 lives

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a 'regime change' in Russia after a recent drone and missile attack in Kyiv resulted in 26 deaths, including three children. The strike injured 150 people, marking one of the deadliest attacks Ukraine has faced recently. Zelenskyy emphasized that a change in Russia's leadership would be necessary to ensure long-term peace and stability in the region. In the wake of the attack, former US President Donald Trump condemned Russia's behavior and suggested that new sanctions may be imposed. Additionally, the Ukrainian parliament has enacted a law aiming to enhance anti-corruption measures, responding to civil unrest following an earlier legislation that led to widespread protests.

Zelenskyy's call for regime change highlights the stark reality of the ongoing conflict. As the war drags on, the international community is faced with the challenge of addressing not only the immediate impacts of violence but also the long-term governance issues in Russia. The shift to restore anti-corruption measures in Ukraine suggests a recognition of the importance of domestic stability as much as international responses to aggression. The political landscape remains fraught with tension as leaders figure out how to balance immediate military needs against the broader implications of regime change.
