Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on November 6 that intelligence reports indicate Russia is preparing to launch further strikes against the country's energy sector. The warning, delivered in a video address, specifically cited targets including bridges across the Dnipro River and civilian infrastructure.
Zelenskyy stated that the Ukrainian Air Force and armed forces are preparing defenses for the anticipated attacks. He emphasized the logistical difficulty of maintaining air defense systems during the current phase of the conflict.
"We need interceptor missiles for our Patriots," Zelenskyy said. "Every agreement matters, and every day counts when it comes to deliveries. We're asking our partners very strongly: please don't put off deliveries."
The president also announced that he had spoken with the team responsible for long-range operations. He confirmed that Ukraine will conduct corresponding strikes against Russia in response to the ongoing pressure.
Zelenskyy reported that he discussed Ukraine's needs ahead of winter with leaders from the Nordic and Baltic states. He said the group had been briefed on what Kyiv requires to maintain operations during the cold season.
The president said he and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently preparing personnel decisions for the military. He added that his administration continues to coordinate with American, European, and Russian partners to advance diplomatic efforts toward ending the war.
