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.

  • Russian forces struck power plants and substations yesterday, leaving nearly 280,000 Ukrainian homes without electricity, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The attack intensified pressure on the country's already battered energy system.
  • Strikes hit critical facilities across Kyiv, Shostka, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, including combined heat-and-power plants and electrical substations. These attacks targeted infrastructure essential to civilian life and economic activity.
  • Around 200,000 households in Dnipro lost power, while more than 80,000 families in the Kyiv region face outages. The assault included 17 ballistic missiles overnight, compounding air defense challenges.
  • Zelensky vowed Ukraine would "act accordingly and justly" as restoration work continues across affected regions. Russia meanwhile accused Kyiv of defying President Trump by restarting refinery attacks.
  • Warning that Moscow has taken no steps to de-escalate, Zelensky urged international partners to strengthen air defense capabilities. Daily strikes against energy facilities continue threatening civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.
