Russian energy infrastructure is a legitimate target for Ukrainian strikes because the energy sector is a source of funds for the production of weapons, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said. “We either build weapons and strike their weapons. Zelenskyy told reporters that both Ukraine and Russia had been invited to further talks this week. A Russian airstrike on a residential area in eastern Ukraine killed one person and wounded two, officials said on Sunday. Russia also struck energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s Poltava region overnight into Sunday, Ukraine’s state-owned gas company Naftogaz said.
