Russia is preparing for trilateral talks by launching ballistic missiles at Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Where the security situation permits, repair and rescue operations are underway in the affected regions. The attack was combined: the Russians used a total of 172 drones and 36 ballistic missiles, and all the missiles targeted Kyiv and the region. The main target of the strike was once again the energy sector
In the capital, he noted, "the situation with electricity, water, and heat supplies is difficult." "Residential buildings and the Northern Bridge were damaged, and a kindergarten was partially destroyed," Zelenskyy stated.
In the Kyiv region, substations connecting the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plants with Kyiv and Ukraine’s central regions were hit. Substations were also damaged in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kharkiv, and Dnipro regions
According to him, "in addition to Kyiv, twelve more regions came under attack. Nine people were injured, including one child."
"Thank you to all our people who defend the country from this terror every day, restore what has been damaged, and do everything to help Ukraine get through the winter. But when Russia is trying to push Kyiv—a city of several million people—and the entire country into a blackout, Ukraine cannot be left alone. We are counting on increased bilateral support from America. We are counting on greater attention to Ukraine from the U.S. Congress. Because Russia is constantly increasing the number of its attacks. It is important that support for Ukraine remain among the priorities of American policy. We are counting on the unity of both parties on issues of security, support for Ukraine, condemnation of Russian aggression, and increased sanctions pressure on Putin. America’s resolve and consistency in supporting Ukraine are of great importance for bringing peace closer," Zelenskyy emphasized.
