Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian attacks on Saturday targeted his country’s energy sector, including gas supply facilities important for flows to the EU.
- "The main target was the energy sector, various facilities in the industry, both electricity and gas transit facilities, in particular, those gas facilities that are crucial to ensuring safe delivery to the European Union," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
- He did not specifically name targets or whether they had been damaged.
- Two critical energy infrastructure objects in Stryi and Chervonohrad districts were damaged and caught fire according to local media reports but were quickly extinguished.
