"Russia responds with terror to our peaceful actions." Volodymyr Zelensky said this speaking on video at the urgent meeting of the UN Security Council: " We received 70 missiles in one day, this is Russian terror ", added the Ukrainian president, underlining the need to receive "modern air defense systems". .
Zelensky underlined the attacks on civilian infrastructure: "With temperatures below zero, millions of people are without heat, light and water , this is a clear crime against humanity."
Even the White House has expressed its indignation at the recent "horrible attacks" on Kiev's infrastructure which, as winter approaches, "increase the suffering and deaths of Ukrainians and show that Moscow wants to increase the risk of a nuclear safety incident which could have consequences for the entire region.'
“As Russia struggles on the battlefield, it is increasingly veering towards these horrific attacks on the Ukrainian people, punitive and deliberate attacks that damage the electricity grid infrastructure as winter approaches ,” says the spokeswoman of the national security council of the White House Adrienne Watson,. Attacks that "do not appear to have any military purpose and promote the goal of Putin's regime of increasing the suffering and deaths of Ukrainian men, women and children ".
Yesterday the European Parliament voted the resolution that recognizes Russia as a "sponsor of terrorism" state , shortly after it was the victim of an attack by pro-Russian hackers.
