The ongoing war has seen a surge in Russian air attacks, with Ukraine's air defenses intercepting numerous drones and missiles. The country's energy infrastructure has also been targeted, leading to widespread power outages. Zelensky has repeatedly called for increased air defense support from Western allies and an easing of restrictions on using Western munitions against Russian targets.
Kuleba, who is expected to be reassigned within the government, has warned that Putin's strategy remains focused on demoralizing the Ukrainian people and destroying the country's economy through continued air strikes. The Ukrainian government is bracing for further challenges as it seeks to strengthen its defenses and maintain international support in the face of ongoing aggression.
