Russia repeatedly hit Ukraine's emergency and energy crews in double terror strikes - Zelenskyy

"Last night brought strikes against our people, our energy sector, and our civilian infrastructure. Russia launched more than 300 attack drones and 37 missiles, a significant number of them ballistic, against Ukraine," Zelenskyy explains.

According to him, the infrastructure of Vinnytsia, Sumy, and Poltava regions was under Russian attack. In the Chernihiv region, Nizhyn was hit - the post office was damaged, and one person was wounded. In the Kharkiv region, the Russians struck critical infrastructure, part of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

"There are wounded. Recovery efforts are underway everywhere. Emergency services are working. And there is confirmation that the Russians are using double terror – attacking with Shaheds carrying cluster munitions and launching repeated strikes to injure firefighters and energy workers who are restoring damaged facilities," Zelenskyy adds.

According to the President of Ukraine, this fall, the Russians are using every day to strike our energy infrastructure.

"Putin has turned a deaf ear to everything the world says, so the only language that can still get through to him is the language of pressure – pressure through sanctions and pressure through long-range capabilities. Strong decisions are possible, decisions that can help. And this depends on the United States, on Europe, on all partners whose strength directly determines whether the war will be ended," Zelenskyy explains.

He stresses that the momentum for achieving peace in the Middle East is important now.

"In Europe, this is also possible. That is exactly what I will be discussing today and tomorrow in Washington," he adds.
