Russia has opened a new front against us, trying to provoke a humanitarian catastrophe of the scale of our entire country. During his speech at “In Solidarity with the Ukrainian People" Conference in Paris on December 13th, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi listed what Ukraine needed urgently to survive the winter despite Russia’s missile strikes. "At least one and a half billion euros are needed only for the superficial quick restoration of Ukrainian energy facilities destroyed by Russian strikes. Every time, after every Russian strike, we try to restore the technical ability to generate and supply electricity. Nevertheless, every day our energy workers have to disconnect millions of Ukrainians from the supply due to a critical shortage of electricity in the general energy system. Right now (at 10:50 a.m., December 13th) about 12 million people in almost all regions and the capital are disconnected from the supply. Unfortunately, this is a typical situation for us. And we expect new Russian strikes every day, which can dramatically increase the number of shutdowns", Zelenskyi said.
