"The main target is Kyiv: energy and civilian infrastructure," the president said.

There are hits and damaged houses. Rescuers are looking for a person under the rubble of one of them.

In some areas of the capital and the region, there is no electricity or heating. Firefighting is underway. Repair crews have already started working at some energy facilities, while others have staff in shelters – rescuers and repairmen will start working as soon as the air raid alarms go off.

The President noted that Russian representatives have long conversations, but in reality, "Daggers" and "Chessmen" speak for them. In his opinion, this is the true attitude of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and his entourage to peace efforts. Zelenskyy added that there is little pressure on Russia at the moment.

"If Russia turns even Christmas and New Year's time into a time of destroyed houses and burned apartments, destroyed power plants, then this sick activity can only be responded to with really strong steps. America has this opportunity, Europe has this opportunity, and many of our partners have this opportunity. The main thing is to use it," he emphasized.

The President called on the partners to continue supporting Ukrainian defense. He emphasized that the supply of air defense should be sufficient and timely.
