Unimaginable drama in frozen Ukraine: 6 million households without electricity and heating

by

The hardest hit areas are Kyiv – with around 600,000 households without electricity tonight – and its region, as well as the Odesa provinces

More than six million households in Ukraine remain in the dark due to power cuts today, two days after massive Russian strikes in the country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“Tonight (Friday) power outages continue in most areas and in Kyiv. More than six million households in total,” while on Wednesday, the day of the bombings, nearly 12 million were left without power, as Zelensky said in his daily address.

The hardest-hit areas are Kyiv – with around 600,000 households without electricity tonight – and its region, as well as Odesa, Lviv, Vinnytsia and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. Zelensky called on Ukrainians to conserve energy in areas where electricity has been restored.

Moscow’s strategy of bombing energy infrastructure was described as a “crime against humanity” by the Ukrainian president who earlier today visited Vyshgorod, a town north of Kiev where six people were killed and dozens injured on Wednesday.
