Zelenskyy reacted to the massive Russian attack on Ukraine's energy sector
That night, there were over 60 Shaheds and almost 90 missiles of various types. The world sees the targets of Russian terrorists as clearly as possible: power plants and energy supply lines, a hydroelectric dam, ordinary residential buildings, even a trolleybus. Russia is at war against the ordinary life of people —my condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed in this terror.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The head of state noted that all cities affected by the attack already have the necessary services, and electricity supply is being restored.
Zelenskyy reminded international partners that there are no delays with Russian missiles, as with aid packages to our state.
The Shaheds don't have indecision like some politicians. It is important to understand the cost of delays and delayed decisions. "Patriot" systems must protect Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, air defence is needed to protect people, infrastructure, houses and dams. The partners know exactly what is needed. They can definitely support it. These solutions are needed. Life must be protected from these inhumans from Moscow, Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasised.
