The Ukrainian president condemned the Russian attacks on gas infrastructure.
Volodymyr Zelensky In a video message broadcast in Kiev, he said that the infrastructure through which Ukraine transports gas to the European Union had been attacked. On Saturday, Russia again fired missiles at Ukraine, primarily targeting energy facilities. Four thermal power plants were damaged. After the air strikes, the head of state once again called on the West to provide more air defense support, because Moscow has expanded the scope of its attacks, making the work of Ukrainian air defense more difficult.
the Ukrainian Pravda According to the head of state, they still need at least seven Patriot air defense systems, and the Western allies can do without such a large number. He said that he thanks those who have already helped them in the field of air defense, but there is no time to hesitate, and they must obtain the necessary air defense systems as soon as possible, so that their Western partners can also show their determination, which he said. For him, Russian terrorists are not aware now.
Regarding yesterday's attack, MTI recalled that the Ukrainian state gas company Naftohaz had also previously complained about Russian attacks on its pipeline network, without providing details. The company recently announced that it will no longer supply Russian gas to the West from 2025, as current contracts with Russia's state-owned Gazprom expire at the end of the year.
