Reference News Network, January 25 report, according to AFP, on January 25, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sought more air defense support from allies. At the same time, many buildings in Kyiv had no heating for the second consecutive day after Russian airstrikes.
During the four-year conflict, Russia has attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, but Kyiv said this winter was the hardest, with hundreds of Russian drones and missiles overwhelming the air defense system during a period of extreme cold frost.
Zelenskyy said: "This week alone, Russia used more than 1,700 attack drones, more than 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 various types of missiles."
He added: "That is why we urgently need air defense missiles every day, and we will continue to cooperate with the United States and Europe to ensure our airspace is better protected."
The bombing by Russia hit Kyiv particularly hard, forcing 500,000 people to evacuate.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said: "After the enemy's attack on Kyiv on January 24, Kyiv currently has 1,676 high-rise apartment buildings without heating."
Nevertheless, Zelenskyy said the talks were "constructive," and both sides agreed to meet again in Abu Dhabi next week. (Translated by Lu Di)
