Kyiv says the Russian military destroyed a power station in Kherson

Ukraine has “forwarded the list of equipment needed by the Kherson region to our international partners,” he clarified, adding that “Poland and France have already responded.”

Ukraine’s national power grid operator Ukrenergo said the Russian military had destroyed a key power station in Kherson before withdrawing from the city and the right bank of the Dnieper River last week.

“The station that supplied electricity to the entire right bank in Kherson region and a significant part of Mykolayiv region has been virtually destroyed,” Ukrenergo president Volodymyr Kudrytsky wrote on Facebook, adding that this was one of the “consequences of fear of the occupying forces before they fled”.

“Most of the liberated Kherson area has been without power since November 6,” Kudrytsky continued. “We are doing our best to supply people with electricity as soon as possible,” he also underlined.

Ukraine has “forwarded the list of equipment needed by the Kherson region to our international partners,” he clarified, adding that “Poland and France have already responded.”

Kherson was the first major city and the only regional center captured by the Russian army after the invasion, which began in late February.

Moscow’s forced withdrawal of troops in the face of pressure from the Ukrainian counteroffensive was a slap in the face for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who in September ordered the mobilization of 300,000 reservists.

The Russian military has conducted waves of massive missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in recent weeks.
