Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Kyiv's forces are preparing to counter a possible Russian strike campaign against the country’s energy infrastructure.

Last winter, Russian forces fired more than 1,200 missiles and drones at Ukrainian power plants, according to Ukrainian state-owned grid operator, Ukrenergo.

The strikes impacted almost half of Ukraine’s energy capacity.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have conducted a campaign against Russian military infrastructure, headquarters, and logistics routes in Crimea, in order, to degrade the Russian military’s ability to use the region for its operations in southern Ukraine.
