Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy, who is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump later today at Mar-a-Lago, stated that the coming days could prove decisive for efforts to end the war, even as Russia continued to intensify missile and drone attacks across Ukraine amid heightened diplomatic activity.

In a post on X, Zelenskyy said, 'These are some of the most active diplomatic days of the year right now, and a lot can be decided before the New Year.'

He noted that while Ukraine is doing everything possible to move towards decisions, outcomes would depend on international partners supporting Kyiv and applying pressure on Russia.

Placing the diplomatic push against the backdrop of escalating violence, Zelenskyy highlighted the scale of recent Russian attacks.

'This week alone, they launched over 2,100 attack drones, around 800 guided aerial bombs, and 94 missiles of various types,' he said, adding that the strikes were directed 'against our people, against life itself and everything that sustains its normal functioning - above all, against our energy infrastructure.'

He said Ukraine's emergency and energy services were working continuously to mitigate the impact.

'Our repair crews, energy workers, and first responders of Ukraine's State Emergency Service are working literally 24/7 to protect lives and restore power supply,' Zelenskyy said. (ANI)
