Zelenskyy Says Russian Strikes Damaged All Ukrainian Power Plants, Calls Putin a ‘Slave to War’

President Zelensky said Russian strikes damaged all Ukrainian power plants, forcing millions to endure heating cuts and urged faster Western air-defense deliveries.

  • On Saturday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said all Ukrainian power plants have been damaged by Russian attacks, forcing millions to face heating shortages in winter.
  • Russia's demand that Ukraine cede parts of Donetsk has been rejected by Kyiv, while Ukraine and Western partners accused Moscow of targeting energy infrastructure to deprive civilians of electricity and heat.
  • Zelenskyy urged speedier deliveries of Western interceptors for Patriot and NASAMS missile systems and praised thousands of energy repair workers as Ukraine's national electricity generation continues despite damage.
  • With no diplomatic breakthrough visible, Ukraine urged Western allies to make faster political decisions ahead of next week's US-brokered talks in Geneva, following two rounds in Abu Dhabi.
  • With the war's fourth anniversary days away, Zelenskyy said Ukraine will hold elections only after security guarantees and ceasefire are agreed, comparing Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, to Adolf Hitler.
