Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that Ukraine is preparing for new Russian attacks on its infrastructure, after the Mayor of Kyiv urged residents to prepare for the worst-case scenario by making emergency plans to leave the city and stay with friends or family. In his nightly address via video link, Zelensky stated that more than 4.5 million consumers are already without electricity. He added, "We also understand that the terrorist state is focusing its forces and means in anticipation of repeating large-scale attacks on our infrastructure. First of all, energy. This is why Russia needed Iranian missiles. We are preparing to respond," according to Reuters.
