Russia has continued to step up its strike campaign with an attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and gas industry, while Zelenskyy called for Ukrainians to defend themselves.
The Russian air force has conducted a massive strike on objects of energy infrastructure and the gas industry in Ukraine, Russian defence ministry says. The ministry said it used "high-precision long-range air-based weapons" and drones. "As a result of this strike, the operation of defence industry enterprises involved in the manufacture and repair of weapons, equipment and ammunition has been disrupted. All the goals of the strike have been achieved.
Ukraine's largest private energy firm, DTEK, said on Saturday that five of its six plants had been damaged or destroyed with 80 per cent of its generating capacity lost, and that repairs could take up to 18 months. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called in an Easter Sunday message for Ukrainians to defend themselves against Russian aggression.
