Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities in recent weeks, launching some of the heaviest waves of missile strikes since invading Ukraine on 24 February
, officials said, the latest in a series of attacks that have crippled Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
" Putin wants to deprive millions of people of electricity and heating, amid freezing temperatures. Send Ukraine more air and missile defence systems to avert this tragedy. Delays cost lives." Moscow's forces retreated from the southern city of Kherson last week after a Ukrainian counteroffensive. "The Kherson operation is turning into a regrouping. They are starting to redeploy in Donetsk," Mr Zhdanov said.
As the fighting intensified elsewhere, investigators in the recently liberated Kherson region uncovered 63 bodies with signs of torture after Russian forces left the area, Ukraine's interior minister was quoted as saying early today.
