Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded that the United States respond to a “brutally savage” Russian strike that he said left more than 20 people dead.

“Directly on people. Ordinary civilians. At the very moment when pensions were being disbursed,” Zelenskyy said of the attack in a post on X.

The strike hit the rural town of Yarova in the Donetsk region. While Russia has denied targeting civilians, tens of thousands have been killed since Moscow’s February 2022 invasion, Reuters reported.

Zelenskyy seemed less convinced, and he recently accused Trump of giving Putin “what he wanted” at the Alaska summit.

“It’s a pity that Ukraine was not there, because I think President Trump gave Putin what he wanted,” Zelenskyy told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Sept. 7.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and NATO but did not receive immediate responses.
