Russia preparing strikes on facilities that serve nuclear power plants, Zelenskyy says

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, following a meeting with Oleh Ivashchenko, Head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), that Russia is preparing further strikes on Ukraine's energy system and infrastructure, including facilities that service nuclear power plants.

Quote: "A report by the chief of Defence Intelligence, Oleh Ivashchenko. Primarily about the designated tasks for the Russian army.

We do not see any willingness on the part of the aggressor to comply with any agreements or end the war. Instead, there is ample information about preparations for further Russian strikes on our energy sector and infrastructure, including facilities and networks that serve our nuclear power plants."

Details: Zelenskyy said every Russian strike on Ukraine's energy sector in the harsh winter conditions weakens and undermines the efforts of key allies, particularly the United States, to end the war.

Quote: "Ukraine is being as constructive as possible in diplomacy, while Russia is focused only on strikes and on tormenting people. Partners must draw the proper conclusions from this. We will provide the available information to those in the world whose influence matters and can help."

Background: DIU reported earlier on Saturday that Russia is considering carrying out attacks on substations linked to Ukraine's nuclear power plants in a bid to force Ukraine to agree to unacceptable demands.
