Zelenskyy on night shelling: Russia’s tactic is killing people and terror through cold
In Chernihiv, Sumy, and Zaporizhia regions, restoration work continues following Russian strikes on our energy infrastructure. Every region is doing everything possible to restore power supply, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on the Russian shelling of Ukrainian cities on Tuesday night.
“Chernihiv and Sumy regions – recovery efforts are now ongoing everywhere after Russian strikes on our energy infrastructure. They even used FPV drones to attack transformers in the Zaporizhzhia region. I thank the repair crews, energy workers, all municipal services, and the State Emergency Service who are working almost around the clock and supporting people. Today, there were reports from Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba and Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko. The necessary forces are in place, and every region is doing everything possible to restore power supply,” Zelenskyy said on X.

But as soon as the pressure eased slightly, the Russians began trying to weasel out of diplomacy and delay the dialogue. Russia’s tactic is killing people and terror through cold.
