 We will continue strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure," Putin says in a ceremony in Kremlin. Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to continue strikes on Ukraine's energy grid that have left millions of people without electricity and water. In an award ceremony held in Kremlin on Friday, Putin said the strikes were in response to the explosion of Moscow breaching Crimea in October, as well as other attacks carried out by Kiev. Commenting on the strikes on Ukraine's energy grid, Putin said, yes, we did that, but who started it? Who hits the Crimea bridge? Putin also mentioned other reasons behind Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine's power grid, such as the blast near the Kursk nuclear power plant in western Russia in August, as well as water shortage in Russian-populated Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. Russia has been using cruel war tactics of attacking Ukraine's electricity grid since October 10 following its military defeats. The strikes on the energy infrastructure have knocked out power across Ukraine, leaving millions of people without electricity and water. Thank you very much.
