Zelensky assures that Ukraine "cannot be intimidated" after the Russian bombing of several cities in the country

MADRID, 11 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, has assured this Monday that Ukraine "cannot be intimidated" after the bombings that Russia has carried out in kyiv and other cities of the country and that have claimed the lives of at least 12 people.

"Ukraine cannot be intimidated. It can only unite us even more. Ukraine will not stop. (This serves) only to further convince us that terrorists must be neutralized," the Ukrainian president said in his daily message to the country's population.

Zelenski has condemned the attacks that Russia has launched on several Ukrainian cities and has described them as "typical terrorist tactics", while maintaining that the bombings were intended to "instill fear".

In this sense, he has maintained that the Kremlin is lying in assuring that it has achieved "all the planned objectives": "They are lying, as always. Look at their 'real objectives', the intersection in kyiv where I am (...). That is the goal," Zelensky emphasized, showing a normal street in the Ukrainian capital in a video.

Likewise, the President of Ukraine has indicated that, of the 84 Russian missiles launched against Ukrainian territory, 43 have been shot down. In addition, of 24 Russian drones, 13 have been shot down.

However, he has pointed out that the security forces are doing "everything possible" to restore normal production and electricity supply, claiming that electricity is necessary for all families, regardless of "any manifestation of Russian terror."

After the Russian bombardments on Monday, the Chernigov, Sumy, Lviv, Ternopil, Dnipropetrovsk and kyiv regions, as well as the city of kyiv, have suffered partial or total power cuts.

"We need energy to reach all our homes, in all areas," said Zelensky, who has called on Ukrainians to consume "reasonable electricity."

"There are hours of maximum load on the power system: from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. I ask you very much, please, at this time, consume electricity in such a way that you do not overload the power system. Postpone washing, ironing, repair and use of other electrical appliances that consume a lot of energy from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
