KYIV, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Russia launched more than ‍400 drones and about 40 missiles on Saturday to attack Ukraine’s ‌energy sector, ‌targeting the power grid, generation facilities, and distribution substations, President Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said.

“Every day, Russia ‍could choose ​real diplomacy, ​but it chooses ‍new strikes,” Zelenskiy posted on X. “It is crucial that everyone who ‍supports the trilateral negotiations respond to this. ‍Moscow ‍must be ​deprived of ​the ⁠ability to use ‌the cold as leverage against Ukraine.”
