Briefing after meeting of National Security Council of Ukraine. Members of NSDC speaking on their topics, in short: no imminent threat of attack, in case of attack everything is ready. No issues with energy sector: enough coal, gas
Most concerning issues - panic at financial markets, due to the news. But it is also being contained, with the help of partners (including EU's 1.2B, Canada's help and other)
On question about Belarusian hackers connected to attack on 13-14th Jan, Secretary Danilov says that at this point it is very hard to distinguish Belarusian and Russian governments, as they acts as one. "in fact they are one government"
President Zelensky in his video address to Ukrainians has reiterated what was discussed at NSDC and already said by Danilov.
- No reasons for panic
- Enough energy to pass this winter without shutdowns
- Good progress with COVID, announced reward of ~16 euro for booster shot
