Russia continues “to battle for a blackout in Ukraine,” he added.
“In keeping with preliminary studies,” Ukrainian forces had been capable of shoot down greater than 50 missiles and a “important variety of drones,” Zelensky stated.
“Sadly, there have been hits,” he added.

“As of now, there are energy outages in a number of areas. Energy engineers are working to revive energy provide as quickly as potential,” he wrote.
His feedback got here after air raid sirens sounded throughout Ukraine amid the most recent Russian assault.
