Ukraine Condemns Russian Attack During Christmas

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile and drone strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure, calling the assault “inhumane.”

“Putin deliberately chose Christmas Day to attack. What could be more inhumane? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than 100 attack drones targeted our energy system,” Zelensky stated.

Authorities reported at least one fatality and six injuries as a result of the attacks.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sibiga, claimed that a Russian missile passed through Moldovan and Romanian airspace, emphasizing that “Russia poses a threat not only to Ukraine.” However, Romania later confirmed it had detected no missiles in its airspace.

War Outlook

This marks the 13th large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy grid this year and the latest in Russia’s winter campaign against the country’s infrastructure. Zelensky noted that “more than 50 missiles” and several drones were intercepted, but others caused power outages across multiple regions.

Ukraine is enduring its harshest winter yet during nearly three years of war with Russia, which has intensified its bombardments as ground forces push forward in the east.

On Wednesday morning, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that its forces had shot down 59 Ukrainian drones overnight.
