Electricity consumption in Ukraine is being limited today for the first time because of Russian missile and drone attacks that destroyed part of Ukraine’s power plants, government representatives and the electricity operator Ukrenergo reported.
Street lighting will also be limited and residents are urged to keep electricity consumption to a minimum as blackouts can be expected, a presidential adviser warned in Telegram. "Ukrenergo" also indicated that calls for saving electricity could continue with the onset of winter. The disruptions in power supply are caused by the frequent Russian attacks with missiles and kamikaze drones against Ukrainian electricity and infrastructure facilities. Russian strikes against these sites continue. Because of the Ukrainian counter-offensive to Kherson, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law in the territory. The evacuation of nearly 60,000 residents from the district is underway.
At the same time, Kyiv accused Iran of supplying Russia with drones and thus should bear full responsibility for the destruction caused in Ukraine. Kyiv sent an official note to Israel calling for air defense systems and cooperation in the sector. This prompted Israel to announce that it was softening its policy of non-intervention in the conflict and offered Ukraine its support in developing air raid warning system.
Moscow said it would reconsider cooperation with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres if he sent experts to Ukraine to inspect kamikaze drones that Western powers say were made in Iran and Moscow used in violation of UN resolutions.
