Although struggling on the Ukrainian front, Russian troops continue to bomb Ukraine’s installations. There, the current is very intermittent and water is lacking in many towns.
Near a hydroelectric dam in Zaporijia (Ukraine), an aerial alert is in progress, Monday, October 31. These energy installations are vital, but they have been partially bombarded by strikes. The attacks were aimed at cutting off water or electricity for civilians. Some Russian missiles were intercepted in time by the Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense. The attack nevertheless remains massive and thousands of inhabitants find themselves deprived of water and electricity.
“Demoralize civilians”
A family living in Zaporijia now lives with these long cuts. Barely restored, the electricity went out during the interview with the France Télévisions teams. “I believe they want to kill our nation, they want to see us disappear and since no one surrenders, they take revenge“, expresses the mother of the family. In a hospital, there is no electricity either. The place is for resourcefulness and the generator. “The objective of the Russians: to demoralize the civilians. Moscow is also trying to make people forget the retreat of its troops“says Maryse Burgot, special envoy to Ukraine.
