Kuleba: Russian attacks damaged 50% of our energy system

"Russian attacks damaged half of Ukraine's energy system".
This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with Foreign Policy.
Moscow has recently stepped up its missile and drone strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure, carrying out large-scale attacks on energy facilities across the country on March 22, March 29, April 11, and April 27.
"I would venture to say that if another country suffers from this scale of energy destruction, it will look much, much worse than Ukraine. We are holding on because we have learned a lot," Kuleba said.
"Half of our energy system is damaged, and we still have to govern the country, conduct military operations and mobilize the support of the world," added the top Ukrainian diplomat.
The prospect of Donald Trump winning the presidency in November was also touched upon in the interview.
Trump has said he would not commit to providing defense aid to Ukraine if he wins the 2024 election, and his influence with the Republican Party has contributed to the six-month impasse on $61 billion in US aid to Ukraine.
"I am a Ukrainian who goes to bed at night not knowing if a Russian missile will hit my house at night, and therefore the last thing I worry about is the outcome of elections in other countries," the foreign minister said.
He added that this is "not because I don't respect or ignore political events", but because "life has taught us to be ready for any scenario, to survive and win under any circumstances".
Kuleba also drew attention to disagreements among Republicans regarding the level of support Ukraine should receive.
"People come up with some of the most incredible arguments to explain why Ukraine does not deserve to be supported. But the very simple fact is that if you lose in Ukraine, it will cause a domino effect and you will start losing everywhere," the head said of Ukrainian diplomacy./BGNES
