Russia is accumulating missiles to launch attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure this winter, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday, November 16. “But they don’t have many more missiles than before. Otherwise, they would have already started bombing”added the Ukrainian head of state to a small group of media including AFP.
Ukraine is expecting a new campaign of Russian attacks on its energy network, as was the case the previous winter, when millions of Ukrainians were left without heat or electricity in freezing temperatures. “I think we are better prepared for winter than before”estimated Volodymyr Zelensky. “But I don’t think Russia will use fewer weapons.”
“Winter will be difficult.”

“In terms of air defense, we are in a better position than last winter”, affirmed the Ukrainian head of state. According to him, the army manages in particular to destroy “75-80%” Iranian-made explosive drones that Russia often uses against its neighbor, particularly during its night attacks.
