"The Ukrainian president said he had long discussions with the military's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, the chief of the general staff, Andrii Hnatov, and Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov over the coming changes. "Changes will happen," he said. Kyiv has repeatedly urged Western allies to supply more weapons to strengthen air defenses against missile and drone strikes. Power and heating restoration work in progress Zelenskyy also referenced Russian air raids targeting energy infrastructure with outages reported in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava and parts of Odesa regions"
"Kyiv has repeatedly urged Western allies to supply more weapons to strengthen air defenses against missile and drone strikes. Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said crews were working to restore power and heating after the recent Russian strikes. Zelenskyy again criticized local authorities, saying officials would be held personally responsible for failures in managing the aftermath of attacks. "We are monitoring at all levels and people will be held personally responsible," he said."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met top military officials to address shortcomings in air defenses and to strengthen civilian protection against ongoing Russian strikes. Many components of air defense, including interceptors, mobile fire units and small regional teams, are being rebuilt and reorganized, with long discussions held among senior commanders and defence ministers about coming changes. Kyiv repeatedly seeks more Western weapons to bolster defenses against missile and drone attacks. Recent Russian raids targeted energy infrastructure, causing outages in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava and parts of Odesa amid freezing night temperatures, and crews are working to restore power and heating. Local officials face personal accountability for response failures.
