We will not only defend ourselves, but also respond - Zelenskyy on preparations for russian attacks on energy infrastructure

Ukraine is preparing to protect energy infrastructure facilities from possible attacks by the aggressor country of russia, as well as to strike back.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote about this in his official Telegram channel.

"We are preparing for terrorist attacks on energy infrastructure. This year, we will not only defend ourselves, but also respond," the message reads.

According to him, the russian occupiers understand this well and that is why they first removed their fleet from the occupied Crimea, and now they are moving their aviation away from the borders with Ukraine.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on October 24, a representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov, said that russia was preparing for attacks on energy infrastructure facilities.

It will be recalled that the head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, said on October 12 that this winter the occupiers will again try to plunge Ukraine into a complete blackout.

We also wrote that in September, the department said that the russians were conducting reconnaissance of critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.
