The first French fighter planes arrived in Ukraine in early February, eight months after French President Emmanuel Macron announced delivery. France has also intensified by providing kyiv with information it needs to counter Russian attacks after the United States has stopped sharing Intel with Ukraine.
All Russian missiles and drones in the night attack have been directed against “infrastructure that guarantees normal life,” said Zelenskyy.
Ukrainian energy minister, German Gaulushchenko, said the Russians aimed at energy and gas production facilities, “not abandoning their objective of leaving Ukrainians without light or heat, causing the greatest evil to ordinary citizens.”
This is the 17th combined attack on the NAFTOGAZ group’s energy infrastructure installations, the company reported on Friday. “The production facilities that guarantee gas production have been damaged. Fortunately, there was no victim, “said Naftogaz.
Zelenskyy used the opportunity to recall that the first steps towards real peace must include forcing the only source of this war, Russia, to stop such attacks.
“Ukraine is ready to continue the path of peace, and it is Ukraine that strives from peace from the first second of this war. The task is to force Russia to arrest war,” said the Ukrainian president. “Silence in the sky – prohibiting the real guaranteed, long -range drones and air bombs.
