In the midst of accusations that the Russian army is attempting to cut off water and electricity to populated areas, the company in charge of the Ukrainian energy system announced today, Saturday, that a Russian missile strike against a significant energy facility in the area of the Ukrainian capital caused serious damage.
According to the Associated Press report, the governor of the Kyiv region, Olex Coleba, stated that the strike did not result in the death or injury of anyone, but it caused serious damage to it.
The Okrago Electricity Transmission Company, on the other hand, claimed that the repair units were attempting to restore the electrical current while cautioning the locals about potential “attacks”.
Kirillo Timoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office, said the residents of Kyiv and residents in three neighboring areas, they have to reduce their energy consumption during the evening peak hours.
The bridge connecting Russia and the Crimea was damaged by a car bomb explosion a week prior to this attack, and the Russian army believes it to be the largest coordinated missile attack since the commencement of military operations in Ukraine.
Ukrainian reports stated that the attacks that took place this week hit residential buildings, killing dozens, as well as the destruction of civil infrastructure such as power plants near Kyiv and other cities far from the front lines of the war.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, stated on Friday that while Moscow does not feel the need to conduct any additional massive operations, his army would continue to conduct targeted strikes.
Seven of the 29 targets that the Russian army planned to destroy in this week’s attacks, according to him, were unaffected and would be gradually taken out.
For his part, the Institute of War Study, a Washington -based research center, considered Putin’s statements as a pursuit of criticism of Russian bloggers in support of the war.
The center added that Putin knew that he would not be able to continue directing high -density missile strikes for a long time due to the diminishing high -resolution missile arsenal.
According to Polish politician and media personality Camille Jil Katie, Russia is attempting to carry out a policy of deliberately destroying infrastructure, particularly that related to energy. Katie emphasised that if Russia keeps bombing Kyiv and the nearby cities, Ukraine will be completely paralysed within 10 days.
