On the morning of April 1, Russians attacked Kherson’s energy sector, cutting off power to 45,000 consumers. Power engineers are restoring power, and there may be power outages.
This was reported by the head of the Kherson regional power company Oleksandr Prokudin.
“Due to damage caused by enemy shelling, 45,000 consumers were left without electricity. Power engineers have already started connecting subscribers to the grid. There may be power outages due to overload,” the statement said.
During a joint press conference with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister noted that with today’s attack on Kherson’s energy sector, Russia continues to violate the agreement on an “energy truce” with the United States.
“After Riyadh, one of the agreements with the United States was not to strike at energy infrastructure. Russia continues to violate this agreement: energy facilities in Kherson, Kharkiv and Poltava region have already been damaged. And this morning, another Russian strike damaged a power facility in Kherson, leaving 45,000 residents without electricity,” Sibiga said.
