In the Kyiv region, air defense shot down 6 missiles, but there is a hit in a thermal power plant, Deputy Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko wrote on a telegram channel.
“Under the gun are power facilities from Lviv to Zaporozhye, Kiev region, Khmelnytsky, Dnipro and Vinnytsia, Frankivsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zhytormyr, Kirovohrad regions, in general, the entire south. This may affect the stability of the energy supply, so you need to be prepared for the consequences of such shelling, up to rolling blackouts,” he wrote.
For example, Tymoshenko noted, “only in the Kyiv region, air defense shot down six missiles, but there is a hit in a thermal power plant. The specialized services are making every effort to eliminate the consequences of shelling as quickly as possible. There is no rocket that will make us leave”
