Ukraine VS Russia fighting for Donetsk
Budrigannews.om – Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the president of Ukraine, said that Russia would undoubtedly launch additional missile attacks on his country. He also told the country’s defense forces and citizens to get ready to handle another week of snow in Kyiv straining the power grid.
After days of Russian attacks, city authorities said workers were close to restoring power, water, and heat, but high demand meant some blackouts had been imposed.
We are aware that the terrorists are planning additional attacks.”We know this for sure,” Zelenskiy stated late on Sunday in his nightly video address.Unfortunately, they will not settle down as long as they have missiles.”
Zelenskiy stated that the following week could be just as challenging as the one before it, when attacks on electricity infrastructure caused the most severe power outages for Ukrainians since Russian troops invaded in February.
There was no reaction from Moscow to Zelenskiy’s cases.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Moscow has stated that it does not target civilians.The Kremlin said on Thursday that Kyiv would be able “end the anguish” of its populace by fulfilling Russia’s needs.
In September, Russia annexed portions of Ukraine’s east and south, and President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow’s territorial demands cannot be changed.Zelenskiy stated that he would not negotiate with Moscow following the annexation and that Ukraine’s territorial integrity cannot be negotiated.
There were no devastating attacks on Kyiv or other major cities on Sunday, which was relatively calm.In the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to Ukraine’s central army command, Russian forces launched four missile attacks and fired multiple times at civilian targets.
According to Zelenskiy, there was intense fighting along the front lines in various parts of Ukraine, particularly in the eastern Donetsk region.
On Sunday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff reported that Russian troops had shelled a dozen villages in the eastern region of Donetsk, including Bakhmut and Avdiivka, the primary targets.
According to Oleh Zhdanov, a Ukrainian military analyst, Russian forces had failed several attacks on the town of Soledar, which is near Bakhmut, and had also lost a lot in a separate push toward Avdiivka.
According to what he stated on YouTube, intense fighting was also taking place in the northeastern Kharkiv region, close to areas that the Ukrainian army had captured in September and October.
ATTACKS ON ENERGY In recent weeks, Moscow launched a series of air strikes against vital infrastructure, which resulted in widespread power outages and the deaths of civilians.
The attacks have grown as the cold weather has set in, increasing energy demand as workers race to fix power plants that have gone down.
As temperatures dropped below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), fresh strikes on Wednesday caused the worst damage of the nine-month conflict to date, leaving millions of people without power, water, or heat.
Despite the fact that most regions were subject to scheduled blackouts in order to assist in restoring the grid, Zelenskiy stated that utility and emergency teams were working around the clock to provide power and that the situation was “under control.”
Yaroslav Yanushevych, the regional governor, stated that 17 percent of customers in Kherson, a city in southern Ukraine that Russian troops abandoned this month, now had power.In the coming days, other districts will be connected.
On Saturday evening, YASNO’s chief operating officer, Sergey Kovalenko, stated that the city’s situation had improved but remained “quite difficult.”
Zelenskiy criticized Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, claiming that he had not done enough to assist the beleaguered residents.The former professional boxer Klitschko responded that political disagreements were “senseless” in the midst of Russia’s military campaign.
The top of Ukraine’s state-run thermal power firm said on Sunday there were signs that Russian powers may be planning to leave the tremendous Zaporizhzhia thermal energy station which they held onto in Spring.Fears of a nuclear catastrophe have grown as a result of the plant’s constant shelling.
On national television, Petro Kotin, the head of Energoatom, stated, “One gets the impression they’re packing their bags and stealing everything they can.”
Food supplies, like energy, have also been disrupted by the war. Ukraine’s Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said late on Sunday that Russia is trying to limit ship inspections, so grain exports are unlikely to reach 3 million tonnes in November, compared to 4.2 million tonnes in October.
