According to Ukrinform, the head of state said this on Facebook.
"Russia is not backing down from its escalation and is sending many signals that it is ready to expand the war. All of this is happening as the stability of the world has already been shattered by this war. We must continue pressuring the aggressor to bring this war to an end. Every response and every long-range sanction is part of the pressure that is actually working, and the world can feel it. But diplomacy must work in parallel. At the UN General Assembly, we will discuss how we can achieve peace through joint efforts. This is the main task that all leaders should be working on," Zelensky said.
He recalled that Russia attacks Ukrainian cities every day. In particular, he said, the enemy carried out an especially severe and deliberate attack on Zaporizhzhia yesterday. Nine-story residential buildings, a university building, a shopping center and a boiler house were damaged. As of now, Zelensky said, five people are known to have been injured, and some residents were evacuated.
