I held a Staff meeting. Energy sector: reports were delivered on protecting our facilities and restoring them.
Today, there was another Russian strike on our gas infrastructure – just ahead of the heating season, the Russians are looking for ways to inflict more harm on our people. In this single strike, precisely on gas facilities, 35 missiles were launched, including ballistic ones. It was a combined strike, and we managed to shoot down only half of the missiles.
The situation remains difficult in the Chernihiv region after drone strikes – in Slavutych, in Nizhyn, and also in Chernihiv itself. And in the Sumy region. In the evening, there was a ballistic strike in the Donetsk region – again targeting energy infrastructure. Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, Druzhkivka – recovery efforts are underway.
And I want to commend everyone who swiftly assists our people, carries out repairs, and replaces power sources. It’s crucial that all those who need support – in our every community – receive all the help they require. This is the direct responsibility of local leaders: from regional authorities to each city and each community. Resources for that assistance are available. I expect greater results from our military command – those responsible for the unmanned component, for air defense, and for covering the northeastern regions.
I thank everyone in Ukraine who is working for our state, our independence, and our people.
Glory to Ukraine!
