Zelenskyy denounces Russian Christmas Day missile and drone attack on Ukraine as "inhumane"

cbsnews.com

Kyiv, Ukraine — Russia launched a massive missile and drone barrage targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure on Wednesday, striking a thermal power plant and prompting Ukrainians to take shelter in metro stations on Christmas morning, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia's Defense Ministry said it had carried out a "massive strike" on what it said were critical energy facilities in Ukraine that support the work of Kyiv's military-industrial complex, Reuters reported.

In a statement on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said over 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and over 100 attack drones were used to strike Ukraine's power sources.

"Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhumane?" Zelenskyy said. "They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine."

Ukraine shot down 59 of 78 Russian missiles and 54 of 102 drones, Reuters cites Ukraine's military as saying.

Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said Russia again "massively attacks energy infrastructure," in a Facebook statement. Ukraine's Air Force noted multiple missiles fired at Kharkiv, Dnipro and Poltava regions east of the country.
