Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia is not changing its objective of destroying Ukraine's energy sector.

The head of state made the statement in his nightly video address, Ukrinform reports.

"The Russians do not change their objective of destroying Ukraine's energy sector. They continue their attacks, constantly adjusting their strikes to the capabilities of our defense, making them more difficult to repel," he said.

Zelensky thanked the air defense forces, mobile fire teams, all electronic warfare units, and the developers of electronic warfare systems.

"There is a constant rapid evolution of electronic warfare. We must be much faster in it. Today, I received relevant reports on the defense system, on the protection of energy facilities, and on recovery from attacks," he said.

Zelensky said that there are new tasks for Ukrainian diplomats and the Ministry of Defense for the work with partners.

"The supply of air defense systems for Ukraine is critical and must not stop. We must constantly search worldwide for ways to strengthen defense, increase production of necessary equipment in Ukraine, expand localization of production, and obtain licenses from our partners. This is a huge undertaking, and much of Ukraine's future depends on it," Zelensky added.
