Zelenskyy has called for the implementation of the Lindsey Graham sanctions and tariffs law in the U.S. and the introduction of new sanctions by October targeting financial networks and ballistic missile supply chains. He rejected Russian claims of de-escalation as manipulations of diplomatic signals used to delay international responses. The escalation comes as this month has already seen more than 155 strikes, potentially making it the most intense period of attacks on Kyiv since 2022.
