A massive attack on power plants in several regions of the Ukraine left 80% of the capital’s residents Kyiv without water and 350,000 households without electricity. The bombing was confirmed by the troops Wladimir Putin. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, “All attacks have achieved their objective. All designated targets were hit.” Five explosions were heard in Kyiv on Monday. “Russian terrorists have again launched a massive attack on power plants in several regions,” said an adviser to the Ukrainian presidency Kyrylo Tymoshenko. According to Prime Minister Denys Chmygal, “missiles and drones hit 10 regions and damage 18 facilities, most of them related to the energy system”. “Hundreds of places” are without electricity “in seven regions” of Ukraine, he added. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, “more than 50 cruise missiles” were fired in Ukraine “by planes” from the northern Caspian Sea and Russia’s Rostov region. Wreckage from one shot down by Kiev forces landed in a Moldovan village on the Ukrainian border, Chisinau said, reporting material damage but no casualties. The Russian attacks “pose a direct threat to the security of neighboring countries,” Ukrainian diplomacy spokesman Oleg Nikolenko criticized on Facebook, urging Kyiv’s allies to provide “modern missile and antiaircraft equipment.” Despite the constant attacks registered especially since Saturday, when Russia suspended participation in the export of Ukrainian grain, the President of Ukraine said, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, promised that widespread Russian attacks on power plants would not break Ukrainians’ spirits. “The bombardment will not break us hearing the enemy’s anthem in our country is scarier than the enemy’s missiles in our sky. We’re not afraid of the dark,” he said.
