President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia will continue massive energy attacks, saying evolving strikes hinder peace efforts, while urging tougher sanctions on Rosatom and Russian elites.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday (Feb 16) that intelligence reports said that Russians will continue to launch "massive attacks" on energy targets. The president added that more attacks from Russia will make it more difficult to produce an agreement on ending the war, which has been ongoing for around four years now. The Ukrainian leader claimed that Russian attacks are "evolving" with combinations of weapons and require special defence.

But they haven’t yet sanctioned Russian nuclear energy, Rosatom, the persons and their relatives, their children, who live off their money in Europe, in the United States, who pay with these profits for their education at European universities, who own real estate in the United States. A lot of real estate. They financially support children and relatives everywhere," the Ukrainian leader said in the post.
