The energy infrastructure in Kherson is damaged
Ukraine’s energy infrastructure around Kherson has been “virtually destroyed” by the withdrawal of Russian forces and the situation is “complicated” in Odesa, which is the target of bombings, Ukraine’s power grid operator Ukrenergo said.
The “successful project” of Ukraine’s air defenses prevented more Russian strikes from hitting their targets and causing further damage to the national power grid.
