"Christmas morning in Ukraine was overshadowed by a massive Russian aerial
attack using cruise missiles to target energy infrastructure across the
country, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned as “inhuman”.
“Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. What could be more
inhuman? More than 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and more than a
hundred attack drones,” the Ukrainian president said on Telegram.
He said there had been hits and blackouts in several regions. “The targets are
our energy. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine,” he said.
The attack left half a million people in Kharkiv region without heating, in
temperatures just a few degrees celsius above zero, while there were blackouts
in the capital, Kyiv, and elsewhere.
“Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not distort Christmas,” Zelenskyy
said.
Ukraine’s energy minister, German Galushchenko, said the transmission system
operator had imposed restrictions on the electricity supply to minimise the
impact.
At least three people were wounded in a missile attack on Kharkiv in
north-eastern Ukraine, the city’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said."
