“Our team continues working with the American side so that real decisions for the sake of peace can be scaled up,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Feb. 2.
Fellow Ukrainians!
First – energy. Today, all regions where the situation is currently particularly difficult were on the coordination call. These are essentially the central regions of Ukraine, as well as border communities with Russia where shelling and hostilities are constant. In the Dnipro region – and especially in Nikopol – power transmission lines were damaged as a result of shelling. In the Pavlohrad district and in other communities close to the frontline, Russian strikes are continuing, including damage to local infrastructure and local energy facilities. In the Dnipro region and in Zaporizhzhia, Ukrzaliznytsia – our logistics – was once again hit. However, we are maintaining interregional connectivity and keeping our transport links operational. It is important that today, throughout the day, there were no missile strikes or “shaheds” targeting infrastructure, and this demonstrates that when the United States has the motive to really change the situation, the situation can change.
