Russian strikes kill 70+ in Ukraine; Zelensky criticizes US support

Russian bomb attacks in eastern Ukraine killed at least 35 on Thursday, bringing the two-day death toll to over 70. President Zelensky publicly accused the US of unwillingness to help, marking a notable escalation in rhetoric toward Washington. The strikes continue an established pattern of Russian attacks, but the direct criticism of US support signals growing strain in Ukraine's relations with its key ally.
