According to him, only critical infrastructure is connected to power in the region and “to the extent that the possibility of power exists.”
“In total, Russian terrorists used 15 “Shahed” against the Odessa region. In just one Saturday night. This is Russia’s real attitude towards Odessa, the attitude towards the inhabitants of Odessa is a grip walking around consciously, a conscious attempt to bring disaster to the city. Our defenders of the sky managed to shoot down 10 out of 15 drones. Well done,” said the president.
According to him, energy engineers and local authorities are already working non-stop to restore the electricity supply.
“Unfortunately, the blows were critical, so it takes not only time to restore electricity… We need not hours, but, unfortunately, several days. We will do everything to speed up recovery,” Zelensky added.
He also urged local residents to help their neighbors, acquaintances and elders find “points of invincibility”.
