Putin deliberately chose Christmas for attack - Zelensky

25 December 2024

The defenders managed to shoot down over 50 missiles and a significant portion of the drones. Unfortunately, there are hits.

The President of Ukraine commented on the attack by the Russian troops this morning. On social networks, the Head of State wrote:

"Every Russian massive strike requires time for preparation. This is never a spontaneous decision. This is a conscious choice not only of goals, but also of time and date.

Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. What could be more inhuman? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and over a hundred strike drones. The targets are our energy sector. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine.

According to preliminary data, our defenders managed to shoot down more than 50 missiles and a significant part of the drones. Unfortunately, there are hits. As of now, there are blackouts in several regions. Power engineers are working to restore power supply as soon as possible.

"Thank you to everyone who is currently working for the country, who is on combat duty, who is protecting our sky. Let's restore the maximum. Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not distort Christmas," Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote.

As reported by "Ukrainian Energy", on Christmas, Russian troops once again attacked Ukraine's energy system. The blow fell on DTEK power plants.
