The exact number of victims is still unknown. Selensky accused Russia of continuing the killing despite international diplomatic efforts. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov initially wrote on Telegram of 16 injured and considerable damage after a hit on a high-rise building.
In the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, a 51-year-old man was also killed by Russian fire, according to the regional governor there, Olexander Prokudin. Attacks on a thermal power plant could lead to interruptions in the heat supply, it was also reported.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy announced this morning that Russia had once again attacked the energy infrastructure, particularly in the Zaporizhzhya and Mykolaiv regions. In many regions of the country, electricity is only available for hours at a time as a result of the damage caused by Russian attacks.
Tens of thousands without electricity in Luhansk, according to occupation authorities
In the largely Russian-occupied region of Luhansk, more than 85,000 energy customers are without electricity following Ukrainian attacks, the Russian state news agency Tass wrote, citing occupation authorities. Four towns and neighboring settlements are affected.
The information provided by the warring parties cannot be independently verified. Russia has been waging a destructive war of aggression against Ukraine for almost four years. As part of its defensive campaign against the Russian invasion, Ukraine has repeatedly attacked targets in Russia. However, the number of victims and the extent of the damage in Russia is disproportionate to the destruction caused by the Russian military in Ukraine.
