Russian troops are preparing for strikes on nuclear energy facilities in Ukraine.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha stated this at a joint briefing with the foreign ministers of the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries in Odesa, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Russia has air superiority. We know that they are preparing strikes on our nuclear energy facilities,” Sybiha said.

For this reason, Ukraine insists on lifting any restrictions on the use of long-range missiles against military targets in Russia.

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister discussed with them the strengthening of Ukraine's defense capabilities and energy resilience ahead of the winter and President Volodymyr Zelensky's Victory Plan.
