President Volodymyr Zelensky met with French President Emmanuel Macron to coordinate joint efforts. The discussion focused on diplomatic initiatives and the critical state of the energy infrastructure, which has been hit by over 310 strikes by Russia since the beginning of November.
The head of state reported that approximately 700,000 families are currently without electricity due to the targeted strikes. Damage has been recorded across multiple regions, including the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Vinnytsia areas, where recovery efforts are underway.
"It is important for us that Europe is not just informed, but maximally involved in the negotiations," Zelensky noted.
