6 million Ukrainian households without electricity
At the same time, more than six million Ukrainian homes were affected by power outages on Friday, two days after massive Russian attacks on the country, according to Volodymyr Zelensky. “Tonight the cuts continue in most regions and in Kyiv,” added the head of state in his daily speech.
On Friday night, the power grid had lost “30%” of its capacity, operator Ukrenergo said on Telegram, while this lack was “15-20%” on Wednesday morning. “We expect to go through the weekend with a deficit of around 25%. This figure is already close to what it was before the last attack, but still a bit large. Therefore, the schedules of the restrictions will be maintained, ”the operator specified. .

The deadliest shelling in recent days hit Kherson on Friday: “15 city residents were killed and 35 injured, including a child,” Galyna Lugova, an official in the city’s military administration, said on social media. She said several “private houses and high-rise buildings” were damaged.
“Russian invaders opened fire on a residential area using multiple rocket launchers. A large building caught fire,” Yaroslav Yanushevich, governor of the Kherson region, said earlier. “Due to constant Russian shelling, we are evacuating patients from hospitals in Kherson.”
