Details: The president said that Russia has launched nearly 1,100 attack drones at Ukraine, more than 890 guided aerial bombs and over 50 missiles of various types, including the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, over the past seven days.

Zelenskyy stressed that Russia's attacks have no military purpose and described them as terrorism 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 intentional, cynical Russian terror directed precisely against civilians."

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