Today, more than 100,000 people in Mykolaiv were left without heating after a Russian Shahed drone struck the city's critical infrastructure. An ordinary Ukrainian city. Ordinary civilian infrastructure. It has nothing to do with hostilities or the frontline situation. This is yet another clear demonstration that Russians are waging war against our people and against life itself in Ukraine. And they are fighting vilely, without easing the pressure. Those who genuinely seek peace and prepare for negotiations do not act this way.
Of course, repair crews are working tirelessly to restore heating in Mykolaiv. We will continue working with our partners to strengthen defenses against such attacks. And all partners need to work together at all levels to prevent Russia from dragging out this war or making the threat to life permanent.
Russia must be pressured into peace. The recent Shahed strike on the shelter at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, this attack on Mykolaiv, and all other similar Russian strikes must be met with a strong response – with stronger coordination among all partners and unified efforts to force Russia into peace.
I am grateful to everyone who stands with Ukraine and Ukrainians.

This green anole is showing off his dance moves on World Lizard Day! 🦎
The tiny green lizard is the only anole species native to the U.S. It may change colors to camouflage, regulate body temperature and communicate with other anoles.
