Russia Continues Its ‘Massive’ Air Attacks Against Ukraine's Power Grid

 

Daily Mail: Russia unleashes missile blitz on Ukraine's power stations as Putin tries to shut down the country's electricity, heating and water supplies ahead of winter 

* Missiles targeted power facilities from Odesa in the south to Kovel in the north 

* Around 40 per cent of the energy infrastructure in Ukraine is now out of action 

* Ten of Ukraine’s 24 regions and 1.5million people endured power cuts yesterday 

Russia unleashed a fresh wave of missile strikes on cities and towns across Ukraine yesterday as Vladimir Putin seeks to shut down the country’s electricity, heating and water supplies ahead of winter. 

They rained down on power facilities from Odesa, the Black Sea resort in the south, to Kovel, a medieval town near the Belarus border in the north, leaving about 40 per cent of the energy infrastructure out of action. 

It was the thirteenth day in a row that drones and missiles have targeted the war-torn nation’s power system, resulting in blackouts, water shortages and desperate pleas from leaders for citizens to limit usage.

WNU Editor: I originally thought these Russia airstrikes targeting Ukraine's power grid would stop after a two or three days. That is clearly not the case. This is a concerted campaign by Russia to completely shut down most (if not all) of Ukraine's power grid for the winter.
