Zelenskyy says Russian strikes damaged all Ukrainian power plants, calls Putin a ‘slave to war’

Zelensky said Russian strikes have hit every Ukrainian power plant, causing heating shortages for millions and urging faster Western weapons deliveries before US-brokered talks.

  • At the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky said "There is not a single power plant left in Ukraine that has not been damaged by Russian attacks" and described Putin as a slave to war.
  • Russia’s near-daily strikes on energy infrastructure have strained civilian life, with Kyiv and Western partners saying the attacks deliberately cut heat for millions amid heavy casualties since February 24, 2022.
  • He highlighted repair crews keeping power running despite attacks and warned "Weapons evolve faster than political decisions meant to stop them," Zelensky said.
  • The forthcoming trilateral talks are now scheduled in Oman rather than Geneva, with Zelensky insisting viable security guarantees must come before any agreement to end the war.
  • Warning against territorial concessions, Zelensky evoked the 1938 Munich Agreement, saying, "It would be an illusion to believe that this war can now be reliably ended by dividing Ukraine" while Kyiv rejects surrendering the Donetsk region.
