Russia will continue its combined strikes, it is accumulating its forces and production, because blackouts are the dissatisfaction of people and society. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Suspilne on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Ukrainian Radio, a correspondent of UNN reports.
Every day we realize what they can do. They will continue to make combined strikes, accumulate their forces, and build up production. What is the purpose of all this? Of course, blackouts are about people's and society's dissatisfaction
The President noted that Ukraine needs to prepare for everything physically and actively.
"There must be different types of protection of the energy network. We are ready, for example, for today, I will not say in quantity, but in terms of the number of agreements on missiles for Patriot, NASAMS, Hawk, IRIS-T, many air defense systems, we are now in a very good position," Zelensky said.
The Head of State also commented on the readiness of Ukraine for winter.
"We are probably more prepared than ever in times of war... Decentralization of energy, communications, logistics, because it relates to food supplies, and, of course, the priority of supplying weapons on time... We are definitely improving the number of air defense systems, the fight against enemy drones and missiles, but this is not enough," Zelensky said.
