Kremlin: Kyiv ‘can avoid suffering’ if it accepts Russia’s terms

“Hospitals, schools, transport, residential areas were affected,” Zelensky said, stressing that 70 rockets fell on the country on Wednesday alone, which he called “the Russian formula of terror.” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that Putin “is using winter as a weapon to inflict suffering on the Ukrainian people.”

“Ukrainian leaders can resolve the situation if they accept Russia’s conditions by ending the suffering of the population,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied, adding that all targets have military significance, “directly or indirectly.”
