He shared this on social media.

According to him, at least 30 missiles were successfully intercepted by air defense systems.

“It's the middle of winter, and the target for the Russians remains unchanged: our energy sector. Among the objectives are gas infrastructure and energy facilities that support the normal lives of people,” said Zelensky.

He also reminded that partners at the NATO summit in Washington and in the “Ramstein” format “made promises that have not yet been fully realized.” In particular, this concerns licenses for the production of air defense systems and missiles to protect Ukraine.

Recall that earlier, Bloomberg wrote that Ukraine's gas transportation system could become a target for missile strikes from Russia after Ukraine halted the transit of Russian gas.
