Zelenskyy: Russia Has Taken No Steps to De-Escalate Attacks on Energy Sector

Zelensky said Russian strikes hit power plants, substations and rail facilities, deepening pressure on Ukraine’s grid as restoration crews work across several regions.

  • On October 30, Russian forces launched a massive aerial attack, damaging power plants and substations across Ukraine and leaving nearly 280,000 homes without electricity, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
  • Strikes targeted critical facilities across Kyiv, Shostka, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, including combined heat-and-power plants and railway infrastructure, intensifying pressure on the country's already battered energy system.
  • Around 200,000 households in Dnipro lost power, while more than 80,000 families in the Kyiv region face outages following 17 overnight ballistic missiles, according to official reports.
  • Russia accused Kyiv of defying President Trump by restarting attacks on Russian refineries, while Zelensky vowed Ukraine would 'act accordingly and justly' as restoration work continues.
  • Continued strikes against energy facilities threaten civilian infrastructure daily, prompting Zelensky to urge international partners to strengthen air defense as Moscow takes no steps toward de-escalation.
