Russia on Thursday launched a major air attack on Ukraine's power plants for the second time this month. Due to this attack, the power supply of central, western and southern parts of Ukraine came to a standstill. This has affected more than 10 lakh people in the severe cold weather. Let us tell you that this Russian attack has happened when the cold wave is near. During this time, the temperature of the affected areas remains close to zero and at this time electricity is needed to keep homes and offices warm.

Russia's big attack on power plants

Ukrainian officials have said that this was Russia's 11th major attack on Ukrainian power plants since March this year. More than half of Ukraine's power capacity has been destroyed due to these attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia used cruise missiles and cluster bombs in Thursday's attack.

Claims to have destroyed Russian missile

The Ukrainian Air Force has claimed that 79 of the 91 Russian missiles that came to attack and 35 drones were destroyed mid-air. In the war that has been going on since February 2022, this month the US and Britain have given Ukraine permission to attack the interior of Russia with their missiles, in response to which Russia has given a message of strong response by attacking with its new hypersonic ballistic missile.

Russia can target important buildings in Kiev

Let us tell you that Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia can target the policy making bases of Kiev. In the war of more than 33 months, Russia has not yet targeted important government buildings of Ukraine. These buildings are also under the protection of air defense systems provided by Western countries, but Putin has said that no defense system is capable of stopping Russia's new Orsonic hypersonic missile. Therefore, the area of ​​​​the battle should not be expanded.
