ZELENSKYY WARNS MOSCOW: UKRAINE WILL ANSWER ATTACKS ON CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a direct warning to Moscow as Russia expands its attacks against Ukraine’s communications networks, postal depots, data centres and bridges.
“How can one strike data centres or mobile networks, the way Putin is doing? Do they really think we won’t retaliate?” Zelenskyy said, noting that the same infrastructure exists inside Russia.
The president pointed to Russia’s attacks on Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta—and Ukraine’s subsequent strike against the Wildberries logistics complex—as an example of what Moscow should expect when it deliberately escalates against civilian systems.
“Now they are striking bridges. Striking data centres. It all comes down to people. This is certainly not military infrastructure,” Zelenskyy said.
His message was also directed toward those who still believe Putin can simply be persuaded to stop. Russia is not de-escalating; it is deliberately widening the campaign and testing how much destruction it can inflict without consequences.
Ukraine’s answer is becoming equally clear: every new line Moscow crosses creates another target Russia once believed was safely beyond the war.
