Details: Zelenskyy noted that Saturday began with preventive power outages in some oblasts to protect [the power infrastructure – ed.] against another Russian missile strike.

Quote: "And we end this Saturday with no power outages in almost the entire territory of our state. Apart from Odesa, where the recovery works continue after previous attacks, and some areas where networks were damaged by wind gusts. Most of the territory of Ukraine has power. Most of our people have electricity.

And it is another confirmation of our resilience, the strength of Ukraine, and the colossal work that was and is being done by many people. By everyone who restores and protects energy. By all who work to strengthen our air defence. By all our partners who help. And, of course, by all our soldiers who defend Ukraine every day, every night as part of the Air Force and all our defence and security forces.

I thank everyone who contributed to the defence of the Ukrainian sky and the state's power system! It is a very important result for Ukraine. The result we achieved together."

Details: Zelenskyy promised that the authorities "are doing everything possible and impossible to give Ukraine more air defence systems, more guarantees of stability, and more protection against any Russian strikes".
