EFE The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has assured that throughout the last week the Russian attacks have destroyed a third of the Ukrainian power plants. “Since October 10, 30% of Ukraine’s power plants have been destroyed, which has caused massive blackouts throughout the country,” Zelensky denounced for whom after these events “there is no room” to negotiate “with the regime” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Attacks on energy infrastructure and essential supplies constitute “another type of Russian terrorist attack,” Zelensky wrote on his Twitter profile along with the publication of a video showing the bombing of civilian facilities. Another kind of Russian terrorist attacks: targeting 🇺🇦 energy & critical infrastructure. Since Oct 10, 30% of Ukraine’s power stations have been destroyed, causing massive blackouts across the country. No space left for negotiations with Putin’s regime. @United24media pic.twitter.com/LN4A2GYgCK— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 18, 2022 This Tuesday, the mayor of kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko, reported a new attack against the Ukrainian capital that hit “two essential infrastructure facilities “, which caused water and electricity cuts in part of the city. Not only in kyiv. Several Ukrainian regions have woken up to attacks on their civil infrastructure that have caused partial cuts in their water and electricity supplies. The wave of bombings against power plants that began last Monday has forced the Ukrainian authorities to take measures to stabilize the electricity network, such as the suspension of electricity exports to European Union countries.
