Conflicts: Russian rocket attacks on Ukraine – critical energy situation

Russia is attacking Ukraine with rockets – and is again targeting the energy infrastructure. As a result, according to information from Kyiv, ten million people in the country are temporarily without electricity.

After the massive Russian rocket attack on Ukraine’s energy system, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, around ten million people were temporarily without electricity. This primarily affects the regions of Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, Kyiv and Lviv, said Zelenskyj in his evening video address.

District heating has been switched off in Lviv and other cities. “There are problems with communication and the Internet throughout the country.” The President later added that around eight million people now have electricity again.

As a result of the attacks on the power grid, reactor units at two Ukrainian nuclear power plants were automatically shut down, said Zelenskyy, without giving any further details.

He interpreted the heavy attack as Russia’s response to the fact that countries such as Indonesia, China and India had spoken out against the war at the G20 summit. “Russia is telling the world that it wants to continue,” said Zelenskyy. The world must react to this, he demanded.
