President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed doubt that Russia plans to carry out a general mobilization in the near future, though he noted he does not have complete information on the matter.

He stated this while speaking to journalists at the "Bucha Summit 2026," according to Ukrinform.

"If they strike us, we will respond. If they agree to stop attacks on energy infrastructure, our response will be mirrored," Zelensky said.

At the same time, he noted that there have been no signals from the Russian side about a possible energy ceasefire. "At least, we have not received any," the President said.

Preliminary reports indicate damage to 14 sites, including 10 apartment buildings, a vocational technical school, and private homes. Over 400 windows were shattered. Business properties were also damaged, with private company buildings destroyed and signs broken. Additionally, private homes were damaged by the blast wave in another district of the community.
