Zelensky on the protection of thermal power plants in Kyiv: what the president replied to criticism

Zelensky noted that it is necessary to take more active measures to protect important objects, and if local authorities and the private sector do not respond adequately, this issue should be resolved at the state level.

The day before, Russian forces attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure using drones and missiles. Zelensky emphasized that the threat from the Russian Federation remains relevant, and it is important to prepare the population for potential dangers.

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, urged residents to stay calm and prepare for possible adversities, including stocking up on water and food, preparing a first aid kit, and charging autonomous power devices.

The Ukrainian president and the mayor of Kyiv are calling on citizens to prepare for possible attacks on the energy infrastructure and the dangers from Russia.
