Ukraine: As Russian forces continued to shell Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the West to tighten sanctions.

In a video statement issued Sunday evening, Zelenskyy heaped Western leaders for failing to respond to the Russian Defense Ministry's announcement that it would strike Ukraine's military-industrial complex, while instructing employees of these defence plants not to report to work.

"I haven't heard a single world leader respond to this," Zelenskyy said. "The aggressor's audacity is a clear signal to the West that the sanctions imposed on Russia are insufficient." Zelenskyy advocated for the establishment of a "tribunal" to bring those who plan and carry out such crimes to justice. "Think about the occupiers' sense of impunity in announcing such planned atrocities," he said.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that its forces intend to use precision weapons to attack Ukraine's military-industrial complex.  "We urge all personnel of Ukrainian defence industry plants... to leave the territory of their enterprises," said Ministry of Defense spokesman Igor Konashenkov in a statement.
