Russia’s massive bombing of Ukrainian energy facilities has caused severe damage and blackouts affecting millions of Ukrainians, plunging them into darkness and cold every day
To “hold fast” against the power outages they call them citizens the Ukrainian authorities, after the Russian strikes of the last few weeks which have caused great damage to the national electricity network and now define the daily life of the residents of many regions of the country.
“From Monday, I will ask Oblenergo [έναν πάροχο] to see the timetables of the area again. There will most likely be a four-hour outage,” the governor of the Mykolayiv (southern) region, Vitaly Kim, told Telegram.
He described an “increased consumption” of electricity, which he said is expected to make longer outages necessary to relieve the regional power grid.
“We must hold fast,” he told the residents of his area.
THE Russia has been unleashing mass since October bombings of Ukrainian energy facilities, causing severe damage and blackouts affecting millions of Ukrainians, plunging them into darkness and cold every day.
On the military front, the fighting is “tough” in the eastern part of the country because “the Russians had time to prepare” for Kiev’s attacks, the governor of the Luhansk region, Serhii Haidai, told Ukrainian television.
“The Ukrainian armed forces are slowly advancing through the Russian defenses in the direction of Svatone-Kremina,” he noted, however, without giving further details.
According to a morning bulletin from the Ukrainian army, the situation is “difficult” near Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region, which the Russians are trying to capture without succeeding so far.
The battle around this city took on a more symbolic meaning for Russian officials as its capture would come after a series of humiliating defeats, with retreats from Kharkov (northeast) in September and Kherson (south) in November.
The same “difficulties” are encountered by Kiev’s troops in the Kherson region (south), from where the Russian army partially withdrew in November, saying it wants to consolidate its positions.
“The Russians bombed Kherson (and) destroyed the power grids,” one can read in the report made public this morning.
