Quote from Zelenskyy: "85 missiles have been launched on Ukraine, on our cities, and, for the most part, on our energy infrastructure. It is clear what the enemy is trying to do. They will not succeed.
We might experience around 20 more strikes. So I’m urging all of you: take care, and remain in shelters for a while.
I know that the strikes have left many cities in our country without power. We are working. We will restore everything, we will make it through everything that’s coming our way."
