The attack took place in the context of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022. Ukraine has been calling for months to suspend attacks on energy infrastructure, and the United States has declared support in the form of intelligence data. Zelensky emphasizes that despite such declarations, Russia continues to carry out attacks without warning.
Zelensky announced the attack on the Ukrainian capital on social media.
"Russian ballistic missile attack on Kiev. Again, without any warning from the partners. The main target was the energy sector, specifically the thermal power plant No. 4. Unfortunately, there was a hit. A residential building was also damaged, and rescuers are currently extinguishing the fire. Our systems detected these missiles only when they were practically approaching Kiev. The thermal power plant No. 4 is one of the main energy facilities of the capital," he wrote in the Telegram messenger.
Zelensky warns: Russia does not intend to comply with the arrangements
The Ukrainian leader noted that according to Ukrainian intelligence data, the Russians are preparing further ballistic missile launches. He also added that Russia does not intend to follow the arrangements mentioned by US President Donald Trump, and despite Ukraine's support for suspending attacks on energy infrastructure, it is targeting another power plant and Ukrainian citizens.
"It is definitely unfair that the Russians are destroying energy infrastructure and Ukraine does not even receive warnings about the launch of ballistic missiles. It is important that the world does not remain silent on this matter. It is also important that the United States actually sees what is happening and who is to blame for the prolongation of the war," Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian Air Force also confirmed information about a Russian ballistic attack on the capital. "The Russians attacked the capital of Ukraine with ballistic missiles. The situation is similar to yesterday - we have not received information from our partners about missiles being fired from enemy territory. The reasons are being established," they noted in the Telegram messenger.
Earlier on Tuesday, the US president assured that the United States continues to help Ukraine and provide it with intelligence data. He assessed that both Russia and Ukraine want peace, but do not know how to achieve it.
