Since October, Russian missile and drone attacks on key infrastructure in Ukraine have disrupted water, fuel and electricity supplies for millions of people. President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the Ukrainians for surviving the conditions caused by the systematic attacks on energy supply infrastructure during the winter. As a result of these attacks, millions of people had to suffer from darkness and cold. Zelensky said in his daily speech, “We have survived this winter. It was a very difficult time and every Ukrainian faced difficulties. We are now able to provide fuel and electricity to our people.’ Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba hailed the first day of spring as another “major defeat” for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. “We have survived the most critical winter conditions in our history,” Kuleba said in a statement. We were unshakable in extremely cold and dark conditions.
