Russia targeted gas infrastructure and energy facilities. At least 30 of over 40 missiles destroyed - Zelenskyy
On the morning of January 15, 2025, Russian troops carried out another massive attack on Ukraine.
This was announced in the telegram channel of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Censor.NET reports.
"It's the middle of winter, and the target for the Russians remains the same: our energy sector. Among the targets are gas infrastructure and energy facilities that ensure the normal life of people," the Head of State informed.
How many missiles did the enemy launch?
According to Zelenskyy, more than 40 missiles were involved in this strike, including ballistic missiles. At least 30 were destroyed. There were also more than 70 Russian attack drones overnight.
"Thanks to our air defense system and all the units involved, we are keeping our energy system running.
But we constantly need to strengthen the existing capabilities of the Ukrainian air shield. Our partners at the NATO summit in Washington and in the Ramstein format made promises that have not yet been fully realized. We also talked about licenses for the production of air defense systems and anti-missiles, which can become one of the effective security guarantees for Ukraine, and this is also realistic and must be fulfilled," Zelenskyy recalled.
"We are grateful to everyone who helps our country. But this is much more than the needs of our country. Right now, the defense of Ukraine is proving whether Europe and the democratic world as a whole can stop wars reliably and for a long time," he summarizes.
