Russia has launched a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian military had carried out several rounds of airstrikes on Ukraine's energy centers on Thursday.
According to Zelensky, the Russian army has carried out heavy attacks with missiles and drones and there has been a widespread problem in power supply in many places. Zelensky said that more than 1 million Ukrainian citizens were forced to live without electricity during the cold season due to the attack.
'Powerful explosives have been dropped in many areas . They target civilian infrastructure,' Zelensky said . He claims that the Ukrainian army shot down 79 missiles and 35 drones.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian military attacked Ukraine's power grid in response to Ukraine's firing of long-range missiles made in the United States and Britain.
'I've said it many times . There will always be an answer from our side," said Putin, who arrived in Kazakhstan during a two-day visit. Putin has also warned that Russia's new ballistic missile will target the decision center in Kiev.
'Wednesday night we launched a massive attack,' he said, '17 military centers on Ukrainian territory were attacked .' In the last two days, Russia said that it had fired 100 missiles and 466 drones at Ukraine. Among them, 90 missiles and 100 drones were struck on Wednesday night.
Putin has warned that the Oreshnik missile that hit the Ukrainian city of Dnipro last week will attack decision-making centers in Kiev, the BBC reported. Claiming that Russia produces 10 times more missiles than all NATO countries combined, Putin said production of long-range missiles will increase by 25 to 30 percent in 2025.
Earlier, President Putin said that Russia would use powerful new missiles if necessary. Ukraine used US and UK-made missiles against Russia last week. In response, Russia launched an Oreshnik missile at Dnipro, Ukraine.
