Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that millions of Ukrainians had no electricity, as fresh Russian strikes hit cities across Ukraine and crippled the country's energy infrastructures, reports AFP.
He said, "Currently, more than 10 million Ukrainians are without electricity."
The regions of Odessa, Vinnytsia, Sumy and Kyiv were most affected. "We are doing everything to normalise the supply," Zelensky added.
Ukraine has faced strikes against its power grid following battlefield victories against Russia, the latest being Moscow's retreat from the southern city of Kherson.
According to the president office, damage to Ukraine's electricity infrastructure has been so extensive that authorities have been imposing power cuts to relieve the grid.
