Zelensky: Russia Has Struck Ukraine's Energy Sector 76 Times Since Trump's Announcement

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia has struck Ukraine's energy sector 76 times since US President Trump announced a halt to strikes on energy facilities. Zelensky wrote this on social media.

"Since the American president announced a halt to energy strikes a week ago, Russia has deliberately struck Ukraine's energy sector 76 times, including oil and natural gas sectors. Just on the previous night, strikes hit substations in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without electricity...", writes Zelensky.

According to him, the main target of the strikes is energy facilities, and the Russians are trying to cause a complete power outage.

In Zelensky's assessment, America must see that Russia is not taking any countermeasures in response to sanctions relief or agreements. According to him, Russia perceives every signal as an opportunity to make money and considers it confirmation that its bet on the war is paying off and that it can continue fighting.

Zelensky said the war continues because of Russia's position, and not because Ukraine is justly defending itself. According to him, it is Russia that must be put under pressure so that peace has a chance.
