President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia’s massive attack on December 25 was deliberately planned for Christmas. As the president emphasized, every such attack takes time to prepare, and it is never a spontaneous decision.
“This is a conscious choice not only of the targets, but also of the time and date. Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. “ he emphasized.
According to Zelenskyy, Russia has fired more than 70 missiles and more than 100 attack drones aimed at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
“According to preliminary data, our defenders managed to shoot down more than 50 missiles and a significant number of drones. Unfortunately, there are hits. As of now, there are blackouts in several regions. Power engineers are working to restore electricity supply as soon as possible,” the President added.
