She accused Moscow of trying to \u201ccreate a humanitarian catastrophe\u201d in her country amid the winter season.<\/li>\n<li>The Russian attacks on Saturday targeted \u201ccritical infrastructure\u201d, the energy grid, a railroad and residential areas in the Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy and other regions, Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha wrote in a separate post on X. \u201cRussian terror can and should be stopped,\u201d he said, as he called for \u201cstronger sanctions\u201d against Moscow.<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that such attacks intensified Ukraine\u2019s need for Patriot air defence systems. \u201cAmerica, Europe and the G7 countries can help ensure that such attacks no longer threaten lives,\u201d he wrote.<\/li>\n<li>Ukraine\u2019s Air Force, in a statement on Telegram, said it downed four of nine missiles and 50 of 62 drones launched in the Russian attacks across the country on Saturday.<\/li>\n<li>Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defence, meanwhile, said that its forces had downed 121 Ukrainian drones overnight, including seven that were flying towards Moscow.<\/li>\n<li>Separately, the governor of Russia\u2019s Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that Ukrainian forces struck a dam on a reservoir in the border area, causing damage.
