Zelenskyy on the Russian Federation’s night attack: Main target of strike - our energy sector — power generation and substations. PHOTOS

The Russians launched nearly 300 strike drones, most of which were "shaheds," 18 ballistic missiles, and 7 cruise missiles at Ukraine last night.

This was reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on his Telegram channel, according to Censor.NET.

Where did the enemy strike?

According to the head of state, the main target of the strike was once again our energy sector: power generation and substations. Unfortunately, there has been significant damage to residential and civilian infrastructure. The strikes hit the Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

Strike on a postal terminal in the Kharkiv region

"Without any military sense, they struck the postal terminal in Korotychi in the Kharkiv region with missiles and killed four people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. The situation in the Kyiv region is not easy: several hundred thousand families are now without electricity. All emergency services are on site. Points of Invincibility have been deployed. As always, where Russia tries to destroy, Ukrainians support each other, and it is internal resilience that is most needed now," Zelenskyy emphasised.

Every such attack against life is a reminder that we must not stop supporting Ukraine. Missiles for air defence systems are needed every day, especially during winter. The world can respond to this Russian terror with new aid packages for Ukraine. We are counting on the acceleration of deliveries that have already been agreed with America and Europe. Russia must understand that the cold will not help it win the war. Thank you to everyone who is helping.
