I held a coordination call. Reports were delivered from all regions following a massive Russian strike. The Russians launched more than 400 drones, many of them “shaheds,” as well as nearly 40 missiles of various types. Unfortunately, energy facilities have suffered significant damage, which has affected the energy situation across practically the entire country, resulting in major power outages. This reflects Russia’s overall attitude toward the situation and their true intentions. So far, Russia has shown no willingness to end this war in the near future. And both in terms of the frontline and of such massive strikes Russia continues a policy of the actual decimation of Ukraine. The Russians deliberately targeted, among other things, energy facilities on which depends the operation of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. This puts at risk not only our security in Ukraine, but also the shared regional and European security. We believe that partners in America, in Europe, and in other states who want peace must view this with a clear head and act accordingly. Real pressure on Russia is needed so that real changes emerge in their intentions and the overall prospects. We discussed in detail the energy supply situation in Kyiv and Kyiv region, Kharkiv and the region, Chernihiv and the region, Sumy, Poltava, Cherkasy, Dnipro regions, our southern regions – Odesa and Mykolaiv regions, Kherson – as well as our Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhia, Kropyvnytskyi and the region, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Volyn, and Lviv regions. Everywhere, the necessary services have been deployed to eliminate the consequences of the strike and carry out restoration work. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is forming additional teams for rapid response work at energy facilities in the western regions. A rather tough discussion was held on the operation of mobile fire groups, and in the coming days, regional heads, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine must ensure additional strengthening of the mobile fire group component within the overall protection system of the designated regions. I also expect an expansion of support programs for the people, and the Government of Ukraine has received specific tasks. Ukrainian diplomats must step up their work with partners on support packages for our air defense and energy resilience. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
