Zelensky's complaint about the attack of more than 850 "expensive" Russian drones during the past day and night
In addition, Volodymyr Zelensky expressed dissatisfaction with the attack of more than 850 "expensive" Russian drones on this country during the past day and night. He wrote on his Telegram channel: "Practically throughout the last day and last night, the massive attacks by witness drones continued. These attacks were carried out in successive waves, and the sky of our country was not empty of the presence of these drones even for an hour."
Zelensky emphasized that these attacks occurred at the same time as the "artificial speed limitation" of the Ukrainian air defense system, and for this reason he once again called on Western partners, especially the United States, to support Kiev in this situation.
Some Ukrainian media reported on Thursday that all three main cogeneration plants in the city of Kyiv have stopped producing electricity, and as a result, the Ukrainian capital has lost its power generation capacity. In Ukraine, there are concerns that the combination of falling temperatures, increased electricity consumption and new attacks on infrastructure is the biggest threat to Kiev's electricity supply.
