Details: Zelenskyy noted that energy infrastructure was once again the main target, and there was also damage to railway infrastructure.

Quote: "Moscow continues to invest in strikes more than in diplomacy.

This week alone, Russia launched more than 1,300 attack drones against Ukraine, over 1,400 guided aerial bombs, and 96 missiles of various types, including dozens of ballistic ones.

That is why we must bolster our air defence. We need systems that effectively counter ballistic threats."

Background: On the night of 21-22 February, Russian forces carried out a combined strike on critical infrastructure facilities across Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force recorded 345 aerial attack assets, including 33 missiles and 274 UAVs that were shot down or jammed.
