Wars fell silent during the Olympics. Previously. The bloodiest tyrants honored millennial traditions and suspended hostilities for the duration of the Games.

Russia, which has long trampled on international law, discredited all international organizations, and destroyed morality, crossed out all unwritten rules. Today, the Russian Federation again terrorized civilian cities and attacked enterprises, destroying the Ukrainian economy.

After the Russian attack, the logistics warehouse of the Roshen corporation in the Kyiv region burned all night. Earlier, the Russians destroyed one of the largest starch production enterprises in Europe in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which also belonged to the corporation, and struck the production shops of a confectionery factory in the capital. Then an employee died, many people were injured, and the historic building of the factory was destroyed.

It is hardly a coincidence that the Russians are purposefully destroying large enterprises that are conscientious taxpayers and employers. Let me remind you that the financing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine depends solely on the Ukrainian economy and our taxpayers, and the destruction of the Ukrainian economy is a Russian plan to undermine defense capabilities.

I do not exclude that in these attacks on the holding’s enterprises there is an element of personal revenge. Putin hates Poroshenko. This open secret has now been read by everyone in Epstein’s numerous files, where they rejoice at the results of the Ukrainian elections.

Only the enemy can rejoice in the destruction of Ukrainian enterprises, regardless of the regions in which they operate and to whom they belong. They understand well that each destroyed enterprise means losses not only for the owners, but also minus taxes for the Ukrainian budget and lost jobs.

Our condolences to all affected communities and families. We must avenge all evil and terror.

As you know, the Winter Olympic Games will be held in Italy from February 6 to 22, 2026. The National Committee has announced the composition of the Ukrainian national team for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The team includes 46 athletes who will compete in 11 sports. The opening ceremony can be viewed here.

Meanwhile, on the night of February 7, Russian troops again struck at Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities , in particular substations, overhead power lines, as well as the Burshtyn and Dobrotvir TPPs.
