Fellow Ukrainians!
Today, our energy workers have been working throughout the day – from Zaporizhzhia and the Mykolaiv region to the Ivano-Frankivsk and Vinnytsia regions – following the Russian strike. Unfortunately, there were hits, and the target was the energy infrastructure. We are doing everything possible to restore it and are adding reserves. I want to thank every repair crew, all utility services involved, energy companies, and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine – this is truly a nationwide effort. Everywhere the Russians have destroyed, Ukrainians are rebuilding. It is important that every community devote maximum attention and resources to this. The strike was complex – a combined, deliberately calculated one, designed to make it difficult to counter. There were missiles as well, including ballistic and air-launched ballistic types. In total, 52 missiles and more than six hundred strike drones were launched, around four hundred of them “shaheds.” Most of the drones were neutralized, and two-thirds of the missiles were also shot down. Ukraine’s air defense is saving a significant part of our infrastructure, and this remains the top priority – air defense systems and missiles for them. We are working on this every day.
