Zelenskyy stressed that Russia's attacks have no military purpose and described them as terror against civilians.

Quote: "And they are hitting targets that have absolutely no military significance: energy facilities and residential buildings.

They deliberately waited for freezing weather to make things worse for our people. This is deliberate, cynical Russian terror directed precisely against civilians."

Background: DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, has said that the current situation with electricity supply is the most difficult so far this winter.
