On February 7, Russia attacked Ukraine with more than 400 drones and about 40 missiles of various types, targeting the power grid, power generation facilities, and distribution substations.

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook.

“Wherever the security situation allows, rescue and repair operations continue at the sites of Russian strikes. Last night's attack involved more than 400 drones and around 40 missiles of various types. The main targets were the energy grid, generation facilities, and distribution substations,” Zelensky stated.

Damage has been reported in the Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Rivne regions. A high-rise building was damaged in Rivne.

In Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia region, drones struck the administrative building of an agricultural college. There were also strikes in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions. Air defense operations are ongoing in some regions.

“Every day, Russia could choose real diplomacy, but it chooses new strikes. It is crucial that everyone who supports the trilateral negotiations responds to this. Moscow must be deprived of the ability to use the cold as leverage against Ukraine. This requires missiles for Patriot, NASAMS, and other systems. Every shipment helps us get through this winter. I thank all our partners who understand this and are genuinely helping,” Zelensky emphasized.
