Zelensky on Russian attack: Infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 regions hit, energy sector key target

According to Ukrinform, the head of state announced this in a Facebook post . "One of the key targets was our energy infrastructure. The Russians wanted to strike painfully and demonstratively. This was one of the most vile strikes: 70 missiles in total, many of them ballistic, as well as 'shaheds.' Unfortunately, only some of them were shot down. Russian ballistic missiles remain the greatest challenge," Zelensky said. According to him, air defense packages are now a vital necessity. "That is why every day we are looking for missiles for Patriot systems that can and must actually protect people's lives here, in Ukrainian skies," Zelensky said. He also noted that the attack took place on the birthday of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
