Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on international partners to step up pressure for a political change in Russia after a wave of Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv killed at least 11 people and wounded about 135, including a six-year-old child. The attacks, which ripped through residential districts and set cars ablaze, were denounced by Zelensky as "showcase killings" during a speech to a conference in Helsinki marking the 50th anniversary of the 1975 Helsinki Accords. Zelensky warned that without a concerted effort to force a regime change in Moscow, the Kremlin would continue to threaten neighbouring states even if the current war ends. He urged governments to seize and redeploy an estimated US$300 billion in frozen Russian assets, arguing that the funds should be channelled directly into Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction. The latest barrage came as Russia claimed to have captured the eastern town of Chasiv Yar, a statement Kyiv dismissed as propaganda. The strike on the capital followed a series of intensified Russian bombardments and underscored Ukraine’s need for additional air-defence systems, Zelensky said. Earlier this month, addressing the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, Zelensky appealed for a "Marshall Plan-style" programme to rebuild the country and secured pledges worth more than €10 billion from governments, multilateral lenders and private investors. He told donors that using confiscated Russian assets would accelerate reconstruction while easing the fiscal burden on allies.
