Zelenskyy: Not single power plant left in Ukraine undamaged by Russia

There isn't a single power plant left in Ukraine that hasn't been damaged by Russian strikes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Munich Security Conference, Report informs.

"For four long years, Russia has used many ballistic missiles and carried out combined attacks. Most of the strikes target our power plants and other critical infrastructure. And there is not a single power plant left in Ukraine that has not been damaged by Russian attacks. Not one," he said.

"But we still generate electricity thanks to our people. And we have kept our system running thanks to physical protection of the facilities and thanks to everyone who helps us with air defense. Just as important, Ukraine still help has power because of our people, thousands of workers who serve millions. And when I see our energy workers, our repair crews, rescue teams, I see something that is often missing in politics through dedication, the ability to work at 100%, to act immediately in a real emergency, not in a month, not in a year or two. But they save lives here. They save lives now, all these years. And many politicians could learn and must, I think, learn from ordinary rescuers, from ordinary repair crews, from ordinary electricians to act, how to act immediately during this war. Thank you.

During this war, weapons evolve faster than political decisions meant to stop them. When the Iranian regime first gave Russia the Shaheed drones, they were simple weapons. They could be shot down easily. Now the Shaheed is different. It has a jet engine. It can fly at different altitudes. It can be guided by an operator in real, by the way, in real time. And it can use Starlink to reach its target. It can even carry other drones acting at the, how we say, mother drone for FPVs. War reveals forms of evil we did not expect. And the longer a war continues, the more resources the aggressor receives, the more dangerous the consequences become, the more dangerous the evolution of weapons and of war itself," he added.

"When people ask today what the price of a deal could be, our answer is simple. The main thing is that in four years, the civilized world will not be forced to justify itself again, to seek responsibility, and not be forced again to look for someone else to blame. Dear friends, Ukraine is ready for a deal that brings real peace to us, to Ukraine, to Europe. I'm confident that this war can be ended and ended with dignity. This is the most important for us, with dignity. We have given our partners everything we believe such a deal must include. We are ready to invest in common security, everything we have learned while defending ourselves during these years of this war. We can clearly answer most of the security questions that were raised at the conference yesterday, and that will be raised today and right now, as we work together to protect lives in Ukraine," he said.
