Russian occupiers choose a specific region to shell and carry out attacks on it over several days.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in his evening video address on 15 November.
“The Russians act like this: they take one region as a special target and for several days concentrate their strikes on that region — on everything, on the networks, on the substations. Since the beginning of September, the highest number of strikes and hits has been in Dnipro Region: 131 hits. One hundred and twenty-five were in Kyiv Region. More than a hundred hits were in Zhytomyr Region and Sumy Region. Accordingly, that is where there is the most work for energy workers, for municipal services, and for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine,” the head of state said.
Zelenskyy added that this week there was an agreement with the European Commission on assistance in the energy sector.
“We agreed with Ursula von der Leyen that Ukraine will receive additional, emergency energy support. Specifically for those cities and those of our communities that are facing the greatest difficulties right now. Additional generators, other equipment, and funding, of course, to support resilience,” the President said.
- On Sunday, due to a Russian attack, emergency power cuts were introduced in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
- In the evening, the authorities in Zaporizhzhia Region reported that the power supply had been restored.
