Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that his country is heading into winter with virtually no functioning thermal power plants after fresh Russian strikes killed four people, including a child, in the Kyiv region.
Zelensky issued the warning on Saturday during a visit to Belgrade, where he met Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
“Russian missiles are aimed precisely at making the lives of Ukrainians unbearable,” Zelensky told reporters during his first official visit to Belgrade, highlighting that the attacks often target Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Ukraine was left with “virtually no intact thermal power plants” as it braced for the upcoming heating season, Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian leader said more access to interceptor missiles was needed in the face of increasing long-range strikes.
