We informed about the state of the energy system after shelling and in conditions of severe frosts. We know the aggressor's goals - a humanitarian catastrophe in Kyiv and Kyiv region and in other cities. The attempt to freeze Ukrainians when it's -20 outside is part of the Russian plan. Latvia strongly condemns these targeted barbaric actions and supports our state
