Zelenskyy described Trump's move to put sanctions on hold as unfortunate, but did not directly criticize the U.S. leader despite deepening tensions between Ukraine and Washington in recent days.
The latest strikes on civilian targets came amid fears that worsening Ukraine-US ties could leave Kyiv more exposed to Russia’s escalating aerial assaults as winter approaches.
Relations between Kyiv and Washington have soured since last week, when Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing large amounts of diesel onto global markets.
Zelenskyy characterized the barrage as "particularly vile" and emphasized that receiving intelligence from partners about such attacks "helps save lives" and is "one of the most critical issues."
Trump, who has recently fumed over not being chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize, has blamed Zelenskyy for being the main obstacle for peaceful resolution of the conflict.
