Zelensky slams 'deliberate' Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy sites
AFP

President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday said Russia was intentionally attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure and called on allies to mount pressure on Moscow to halt its invasion, reports AFP.

"Another round of deliberate strikes and damage to energy facilities -- an FPV drone hit a substation in the Sumy region, and in Nikopol, Dnipro region, a power line was damaged by artillery fire," the Ukrainian leader said, adding that the strikes had cut power to thousands of people.
