Last Night Russia Launched Another Terrorist Attack with Missiles and Drones on Energy Facilities in Five Ukrainian Regions
Civilians, infrastructure, energy facilities. This is what Russia is at war with. Last night, another attack with more than 50 missiles of various types and about 50 Shahed drones was directed at the south, centre and west of Ukraine. This was reported by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
‘Russia's main goal is to normalise terror, to use the lack of sufficient air defence capabilities and the determination of Ukraine's partners. Russian terrorists understand only the language of force. And the only way to stop this terror and prevent it from becoming the norm is to make effective decisions in a timely manner. Full protection of Ukrainian skies must become the norm so that the madmen in the Kremlin realise that their terror does not achieve its goals,’ he stressed.
Zelenskyy added that only when Putin loses the ability to strike at civilians and civilian infrastructure will he be forced to stop his terror.
‘The partners know exactly what is needed for this. Additional Patriots and other modern air defence systems for Ukraine. Accelerating and expanding the supply of F-16s to Ukraine. Providing our soldiers with all the necessary capabilities,’ the President of Ukraine said.
A massive nighttime missile and drone attack by the Russian army targeted energy facilities in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. This was announced by Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
The consequences are currently being clarified. Power engineers are already working to eliminate them.
