Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a coordination meeting following Russia’s intense nationwide attacks.

Emphasizing that more than 400 unmanned aerial vehicles and approximately 40 missiles of various types were used in the attacks, which particularly targeted energy facilities, Zelensky said: “Unfortunately, energy facilities have suffered serious damage. This affected the energy situation across almost the entire country and led to widespread power outages.”

Stating that Russia has demonstrated its intention to continue the war both on the front lines and through large-scale attacks, Zelensky said: “The Russians deliberately targeted energy facilities on which the operation of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants depends. This endangers not only Ukraine’s security, but also regional and European security. Real pressure must be exerted on Russia in order to bring about tangible changes in its intentions and overall posture.”

During the meeting, the energy supply situation in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, Kharkiv and its region, Chernihiv and its region, Sumy, Poltava, Cherkasy, Dnipro regions; in the south, Odesa and Mykolaiv regions, Kherson; as well as Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhia, Kropyvnytskyi and its region, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Volyn and Lviv regions was discussed in detail. Everywhere, the necessary services were mobilized to address the consequences of the attacks and carry out repair works.
