Live Updates: Moscow launches 16 missile and 11 drone attacks in Russia-Ukraine war, Zelensky fires aide

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that Ukraine was involved in the recent attack in Moscow. In a powerful Easter message, Zelensky vowed to continue defending his country against any threats.

“Easter reminds us of the power of the spirit that will not allow darkness to prevail. It will not allow the will to be overshadowed,” Zelensky stated. He emphasized the resilience of the Ukrainian people, saying, “We defend ourselves, we endure, our spirit does not give up and knows that it is possible to avert death. Life can prevail.”

Meanwhile, tech billionaire Elon Musk made controversial comments suggesting that Russia would “gain more land” in Ukraine. Musk criticized Ukraine for attacking a larger army without proper defense capabilities, predicting that Russia would expand its territory in the conflict.

The contrasting statements from Zelensky and Musk highlight the complex dynamics of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While Zelensky remains steadfast in his commitment to defending Ukraine, Musk’s remarks have sparked debate and criticism.

As tensions continue to escalate in the region, the international community closely watches the developments in Ukraine, with concerns about the impact of the conflict on global stability. The conflicting narratives from key figures like Zelensky and Musk underscore the challenges and uncertainties surrounding the situation in Ukraine.
