Russia continues to carry out nightly attacks on Ukraine using
various types of weapons, targeting both residential buildings and
energy infrastructure, Azernews reports.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement on social media
that over the past week alone, Russia has launched nearly 1,500
kamikaze drones, 1,170 guided aerial bombs, and more than 70
missiles against Ukrainian territory.
“Since last night, strikes have been reported in Dnipro,
Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa. Unfortunately, there
are casualties and injuries. I extend my condolences to all those
who have lost loved ones in these attacks,” Zelensky said.
The president added that these assaults have caused significant
damage to residential areas and critical civilian infrastructure,
while numerous acts of “energy terrorism” have been recorded across
the country.
Zelensky emphasized that Moscow’s main objective is to harm
Ukrainian civilians:
“That is why we are working actively to ensure reliable support
for our energy sector during the winter months. We already have
concrete agreements with our partners,” he said, listing the United
States, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the United
Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Spain,
and the European Commission among the countries contributing to
Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund.
