On Christmas Day, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia launched over 70 missiles and 100 drones targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, calling it an inhumane act. The attack resulted in power outages across multiple regions and casualties, with at least one fatality and six injuries reported. Zelensky condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s choice of Christmas for the assault, which he described as deliberate. This marks the 13th mass attack on Ukraine’s energy system this year, as the country continues to face ongoing aggression since Russia’s invasion began in February 2022.
