Zelenskyy calls work of Air Forces on Shaheds unsatisfactory

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that during the attack of the aggressor country russia on the morning of January 20, hits were recorded at an energy facility in the Kyiv Region. According to the head of state, the work of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is unsatisfactory. Zelenskyy said this in his evening video address.

Zelenskyy held a special conference call to find out the state of critical infrastructure in the regions. According to him, the situation in the capital remains the most difficult.

"Kyiv is the most difficult, in the morning there were hits by Shaheds at a power facility in the region. Brigades are working now. The work of the Air Forces against the Shaheds is unsatisfactory: there are interceptors, many forces are involved - mobile fire groups, F-16s, and the arrangement of the work of the Air Forces should be different," the President emphasized.

Zelenskyy separately discussed the downing of the Shaheds and the work of the Air Forces with Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and promised to draw conclusions.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on January 20, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the day before the massive russian strike, Ukraine received the necessary missiles, and this helped significantly.

On the night of January 20, a massive attack was launched on Kyiv and a number of regions of Ukraine. Due to the russian shelling, there are interruptions in electricity and water supply on the left bank of Kyiv.

Also, in the Rivne Region, a russian attack cut off power to more than 10,000 consumers.
