Russia will annex four regions of Ukraine in September 2022
A Ukrainian drone strike hit an electrical substation electricity at Russia and left seven cities without electricity. The information was confirmed by Roman Starovoit, governor of the Kursk region, which lies near the RussiaRussia border Ukraine, this Tuesday, 26. “A Ukrainian drone fired an explosive device against an electrical substation in Snagost, Korenevski district, in the morning. Seven locations remained without power. […] No residents were injured,” the governor said. He also emphasized that emergency services were on duty to restore the power supply. Drone strikes are part of the Ukrainian counteroffensive to liberate Russianoccupied territories. Last winter, Russia carried out attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, cutting off millions of residents from heat, water and electricity. Last week, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denis Smygal accused Russia of rekindling “energy terror” by attacking electrical infrastructure or fuel production and storage areas. The accusation was made shortly after the first rocket attack on electricity plants in months, which led to a drop in supply in several regions of Ukraine.
