President Volodymyr Zelensky addresses Ukrainians after one of the largest recent Russian missile and drone barrages, saying energy infrastructure was again the main target as winter approaches and vowing to keep strengthening air defenses with help from partners. He notes that Ukraine’s forces downed 19 missiles and nearly 560 drones but warns the task is “extremely difficult and expensive,” outlines upcoming talks in the United States on the Geneva peace framework, and presses parliament to move on key appointments and new sanctions proposals to further weaken Russia’s ability to wage war.
