Putin's revenge for US ship hijacking burns Ukraine, but Zelensky provokes him more: 'madman, liar…'

President Zelensky’s latest address focuses on massive repair efforts after Russian strikes, an urgent push for more Western air defense missiles, and the heavy daily losses he says Russia is suffering as the war drags into its 1418th day. He frames Russia’s campaign as a modern echo of fascism and calls for united U.S.–European action to “stop Russia” and protect Ukraine’s people through the harsh winter.
