Ukraine braces for power outage as Russian forces aim energy system
The Ukrainian city of Energodar has been blocked by Russian forces from all sides, while the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is operating stably, the head of the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Starukh, stated.
According to Starukh, the Russian forces fired blank bullets to intimidate people, and now ZNPP is under the control of the Russian military.
“The city is blocked on all sides. There is a lot of enemy equipment. The station is working stably. Our experts say that such actions of the Russian forces are aimed at destroying the country’s energy system and causing power outages,” he said.
