Zelensky denounces Russian bombings against the electrical system in southern Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced in his speech last night to the nation that Russia bombed the electrical system in the part under Kiev control of the Kherson region in the south of the country over the weekend, leaving numerous towns without electricity. . Zelensky also reported bombings against the energy system in the Donetsk region, in the eastern part of the country and also partially occupied by Russia.

“Throughout the day, electrical engineers and emergency workers have been working very intensively in the Kherson region and also in the Donetsk region to deal with the consequences of attacks on electrical installations,” the Ukrainian head of state said in his speech. Zelensky reported the almost complete restoration of electricity and running water in the city of Kherson, capital of the homonymous region, which had been left without these supplies due to bombing.

The Ukrainian president warned that “there will be more Russian attacks” against “electricity generation and distribution infrastructure” “as winter approaches.”
