Hey, it's Rachel Martin.
I'm the host of Wild Card from NPR.
For a lot of my years as a radio host, silence sort of made me nervous.
That pause before an answer because you don't know what's going on on the other side of the mic.
But these days, I love it.
Give me a minute.
Listen to the Wild Card podcast only from NPR.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump is threatening tougher sanctions against Russia after Russia launched its biggest drone attack yet on Ukraine over the weekend.
At least eight people were killed and a government building was damaged.
Ukraine is boosting its own defense as the Kremlin shows no apparent interest in a ceasefire.
and PR's Joanna Kikises reports from Kyiv.
Speaking in this nightly video address,
Zelensky said Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace and is testing world leaders.
Will they put up with it, Zelensky asked,
adding that its important statements are backed up by action,
like tariffs against Russia and those nations supporting Russia.
President Trump says he is considering more sanctions on Russia after the weekend attack on Ukraine.
In the meantime, Zelensky says Ukraine has made air defense a top priority,
producing more interceptor drones to take down Russian attack drones.
