Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that no strikes on energy facilities were recorded last night, but stressed that just a day earlier the Russian army had struck energy infrastructure in several Ukrainian regions. His words were quoted by the BBC.
"There were no strikes on energy facilities last night, but yesterday during the day there were damages specifically to energy infrastructure in several areas. "We are currently reporting a reorientation of the Russian army towards strikes on logistics," Zelensky wrote on his Telegram channel.
According to him, drone attacks on civilian areas are also continuing, with drones striking "ordinary housing construction in cities."
The statement comes against the backdrop of the previously announced diplomatic initiative by US President Donald Trump, who said he had asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to refrain from strikes on Kiev during the severe cold.
The Kremlin confirmed that such a request had been made, stating that no strikes on Kiev would be carried out until February 1. A new round of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US is scheduled for that date in Abu Dhabi.
Despite the temporary limitation of attacks on the capital and energy infrastructure, Kiev warns that the shift in focus towards logistical and civilian targets continues to pose a serious threat to the country.
