Ukrainian Power Facilities Under Drone Attacks: Four Power Plants Suffering from Aerial Strikes
In the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing peace efforts before his planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in China. Meanwhile, Putin has arrived in China for a multi-day visit, where he will participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, chaired by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
On the ground, Russian troops near Dobropillia in the Donetsk region have been encircled by Ukrainian forces, with the Ukrainian military making progress at the front and preventing Russian troops from capturing targets in the region. However, the situation remains dire for civilians, with reports of Russian troops deliberately targeting civilian areas. One civilian was killed and at least 30 others were injured in a Russian night attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia, and an elderly man in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region was allegedly shot by a Russian soldier in his own garden.
In a positive development, the region of Kherson in Ukraine is receiving three powerful generators worth around one million dollars from supporters in the US. One of the generators is intended to ensure the operation of a hospital in Kherson, while the other two will be used in conjunction with the heating supply for the population in Kherson. These generators will provide much-needed medical care and heat to thousands of people in Kherson, even under difficult conditions.
The operation of the four DTEK power plants attacked at night in Ukraine is carried out by the Ukrainian energy company DTEK. Meanwhile, the European Union is planning to examine how frozen Russian assets, amounting to around 210 billion euros, could ultimately be used to finance Ukraine's defense and reconstruction after the war.
In related news, the British "Telegraph" reports that the US could support a European engagement, at least with private US military firms, in the event of a peace agreement or a lasting ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Additionally, the Lithuanian military is installing obstacles to strengthen security at unused roads at border control points with Russia and Belarus.
Despite efforts by world leaders, it appears that the Russian military continues to fire dozens to hundreds of drones and missiles at civilian targets and residential areas in Ukraine almost daily, according to reports. This aggressive behaviour by Russian troops has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of civilians in the region.
Lastly, it has been reported that US President Donald Trump is not making significant progress in his efforts to end the Russian war against Ukraine, in part because he and his closest advisors may be underestimating the situation. As the conflict continues, the international community remains hopeful for a peaceful resolution and an end to the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
