Zelenskyy criticizes Putin for Christmas attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, emphasizing resilience despite power outages.
A massive Russian missile and drone barrage on Ukraine's energy infrastructure on Christmas morning was "inhumane," Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy said Russian President Vladimir Putin "deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhuman? More than 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred strike drones. The targets are our energy sector. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine."
Ukraine in 2023 changed the date for Christmas from Jan. 7 — the date observed by the Russian Orthodox Church — to Dec. 25 as a means of stepping away from Russia’s religious and cultural influence. “Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not spoil Christmas,” Zelenskyy concluded.
This was the 13th large-scale strike on Ukraine's energy system this year, the latest in Russia's campaign targeting the power grid during winter.
