President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that if any country in the world had an attack by 500 drones per night, they would have a blackout.

"Energy today is a big challenge. Ukraine does not have enough experience here yet. Of course, we cannot be compared with any country, they are not at war. If they had such strikes – 500 drones per night, they would have a blackout. In any country in the world," Zelenskyy said at the second national Forum of Talented Youth in Kyiv on Friday.

The president said this is a recognition of any country in the world: "they all talk about it."
