At many critical infrastructure sites, recovery efforts continue following Russia’s strike on the energy sector. It was a cynical and calculated attack, with more than 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeting everything that sustains normal life, everything the Russians want to deprive us of. As of now, more than 20 people across the country have been reported injured – all are receiving the necessary assistance. Sadly, a child was killed in Zaporizhzhia as a result of the attack. My sincere condolences to the family and loved ones. In Kyiv, repair crews are working to restore power and water supply. Power outages have been reported in the Kyiv, Donetsk, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Odesa and Dnipro regions. Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, and Kherson regions are also recovering after the attack. All relevant services are working on recovery, and first responders are operating wherever needed. I receive regular reports from Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Oleksii Kuleba, Minister of Energy Svitlana Grynchuk, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, and local officials. Maximum efficiency is required from government representatives at all levels. It is precisely the civilian and energy infrastructure that is the main target of Russia’s strikes ahead of the heating season. Together, we can protect people from this terror. What’s needed is not window dressing but decisive action – from the United States, Europe, and the G7 – in delivering air defense systems and enforcing sanctions. We count on a response to this brutality from the G20 and from all those who speak of peace in their statements yet refrain from taking real steps. The world can defend itself against these crimes – and doing so will undoubtedly strengthen global security. Thank you to everyone who is helping.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
