In a brief video message Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said “85 missiles strikes have been launched on Ukrainian cities, mostly on energy infrastructure.”
“We can see what the enemy wants, they will not succeed. We may yet have 20 more strikes, please look after yourselves, stay in shelter for some time,” he said. “I know that the strikes have caused power outages in many cities of our country. We are working to restore them. We will withstand.”
On Oct. 10, the Ukrainian military reported 84 missile strikes — the highest number in a single day until Tuesday. Those strikes disrupted electricity supply to about one-third of consumers across Ukraine.
