What Zelensky said about the missile attack
“Today (Russian President Vladimir) Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. What could be more inhumane? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and over a hundred attack drones,” Zelensky said in a post on the Telegram application.
The Ukrainian president added that there were strikes and power outages in several regions due to the Russian incursion. “The goal was our energy. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine,” noted Zelensky, according to what APE-MPE reports.
