Russian occupation authorities report power outages

Ukraine has been resisting a Russian invasion for more than four years. Their counterattacks are putting Moscow under increasing pressure. Even Kremlin leader Putin admits that there are problems.

In the Russian-occupied parts of southern Ukraine, according to the Moscow Authorities appointed power outages. “All districts of the Kherson region are completely or partially without electricity,” wrote the head of the Russian occupation administration there, Vladimir Saldo, on Telegram. Energy suppliers and emergency services worked to restore power to households as quickly as possible.

Also the one from Russia Governor Yevgeny Balitsky, appointed for the Zaporizhzhia region, wrote on the night of emergency shutdowns and damage to energy systems following Ukrainian attacks on the power grid.

The Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for more than four years and is increasingly putting Moscow in trouble with counterattacks. In an interview with state television correspondent Pavel Zarubin, who is close to the Kremlin, the Kremlin boss confessed Vladimir Putin problems the evening before. It is obvious that attacks on critical infrastructure in general and energy infrastructure in particular are causing problems, Putin said. There is a certain deficiency observed, but not a critical one.

Ukraine has greatly expanded its attacks in recent months, primarily targeting the Russian oil industry. This initially led to fuel supply problems on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which has been occupied since 2014, but now also in a large part of the Russian regions.
