Four million people, mostly in the Kyiv region, lost power on Friday, according to Ukraine, which described it as “unprecedented,” due to Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities in recent weeks.
In his daily address, Ukrainian President Foludmir Zellinski remarked, “Electricity has been cut in many of our cities and districts to achieve stability. Nearly four million Ukrainians are impacted by these limitations, he continued.
The Ukrainian business “Detique” announced on Friday that “unfortunately, it will impose additional limits on electrical supplies in the coming days.
In the wake of the recent Russian attacks on the electricity infrastructure, the Ukrainian authorities were forced to cut off electricity for a few hours a day in many areas, especially in the capital Kyiv, to avoid the current power.
A representative of Agence France-Presse was able to visit a Ukrainian power plant that was attacked by Russian forces on Thursday, where two workers were repairing a cable in a sizable column.
“This is the first time we have faced such damage,” station employee Pavlo told AFP.
An Iranian suicide bomber targeted the station a third time, the employee confirmed, after being hit by rockets twice.
Zelinski says that the power interruption caused harm to four million Ukrainians.
