“Latest Russian attack aims to plunge Ukraine into freezing cold” (V. Zelensky)
Zelensky calls latest Russian attack on energy system a deliberate and cynical act of terrorism.
Ukrainian President, Volodimir Zelensky, on Friday denounced the latest Russian attack on its energy infrastructure, “one of the most significant against the sector, as a deliberate and cynical act of terrorism on Russia's part" and called on its international allies for more capabilities to respond to Moscow's actions.
“Generally speaking, we can see that the Russians were looking to overload our air defenses, as they always do in attacks of this scale. What's for more, they specifically waited for the freezing weather to aggravate the situation for the population. The attack was timed to coincide with a cold front. This is deliberate and cynical Russian terrorism aimed specifically at our people,” criticized the President in his daily evening message.
