Ukraine initiated a series of counteroffensives along the frontlines in the north-eastern Kharkiv region and the south in September. In the message, Zelenskiy claimed that Russia has responded to Ukraine's battlefield successes by targeting civilian infrastructure. 'It is a sign of the desperation of those who invented this war' he said. Russian strikes over the weekend damaged Kharkiv's power and water supply leaving parts of the city without energy.
