According to him, all the necessary resources, equipment, and services are involved, and he instructed the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svyridenko, to provide all necessary support to local authorities.
“And it is important that our partners in the world react to this bullying of people by Russia. There is no military sense in such attacks on energy and infrastructure, which leave people without electricity and heating in winter. This is Russia’s war against our people, against life in Ukraine – an attempt to break Ukraine,” he wrote in a telegram.
Zelensky added that diplomatic talks cannot be a reason to slow down the supply of air defense, “we are working with partners to ensure that the response is adequate.”
“Of the most important. Light is gradually returning to the hospital. However, I would like to remind you that medical facilities have alternative power sources and necessary supplies.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, the Russian military has increased its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
According to the Ministry of Energy, as of December 12, the Russian military has attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure 4,500 times since the beginning of this year.
On October 30, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine stated that due to Russian attacks there is a serious risk of dangerous consequences for civilians this winter, including long interruptions in heating, electricity and water supply. According to the UN, such interruptions will have a particularly painful effect on vulnerable groups of the population, such as the elderly, persons with disabilities and families with small children.
