A difficult situation persists in many regions of Ukraine following Russian strikes on critical infrastructure. Energy workers and repair crews are working around the clock to restore electricity, heating, and water supplies.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that many regions are still facing difficult conditions after Russian attacks on critical infrastructure, while energy workers and repair teams continue round-the-clock efforts to restore power, heating, and water supplies.
According to Zelenskyy, over the past week Russia launched nearly 1,100 attack drones, more than 890 guided aerial bombs, and over 50 missiles of various types at Ukraine, including ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as medium-range ballistic missiles known as Oreshnik.
He stated that the strikes targeted sites with no military significance, including energy infrastructure and residential buildings. Zelenskyy said Russian forces deliberately waited for freezing weather in order to make conditions worse for civilians, describing the attacks as deliberate and cynical terror against people.
The president thanked mobile fire groups, air defense units, and electronic warfare units that defend Ukraine day and night, as well as everyone working to support the country and strengthen its defenses.
