On the night of 7 November, the Russians attacked Ukraine with 172 UAVs and 36 ballistic missiles; all ballistic missiles were aimed at Kyiv and the region. In the Kyiv region the aggressor struck substations that connect the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plants to Kyiv and the central regions of Ukraine. In addition to the capital, another 12 regions were under attack.
This, as KV reports, is stated in a message from the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on social media.
“The capital is facing a difficult situation with electricity, water, and heating supplies. Residential buildings were damaged, the Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge, and a kindergarten was partially destroyed. In the Kyiv region there was a strike on substations that connect the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plants to Kyiv and the central regions of Ukraine,” the President reported.
Substations were also damaged in Vinnytsia region, Zhytomyr region, Rivne region, Kharkiv region, and Dnipro region.
The President emphasized: “… when Russia tries to push Kyiv – a multimillion-city – and the entire country into a blackout, Ukraine cannot be left alone.”
Volodymyr Zelensky noted the importance of bipartisan support from the United States.
“We expect increased attention to Ukraine from the U.S. Congress. Because Russia is continuously increasing the number of its strikes. It is important that support for Ukraine remain among the priorities of American policy. We count on unity between both parties on security issues, support for Ukraine, condemnation of Russian aggression, and intensifying sanctions pressure on Putin. America’s resolve and consistency in supporting Ukraine are of great importance for bringing peace closer,” the Head of State concluded.
Recall that in Kyiv the consequences of the combined Russian attack on the night of 7 November are being recorded in six districts; five people are known to be injured, including a 14-year-old girl. Residential buildings, a kindergarten building, and vehicles were damaged. There were strikes on the Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge – the road surface and the trolleybus line were damaged, and traffic across the crossing has been stopped.
