Shelling of Ukrainian Red Cross premises, Molfar investigation, death toll after strike in Dnipro: today's highlights

Consequences of the Russian attack on Ukraine on January 14

As a result of the attack of the Russian occupation troops on several facilities in Ukraine on January 14, there was a large shortage of generation in the power system. This was announced by YASNO CEO Serhii Kovalenko.

“The problem is so serious that Ukrenergo has significantly limited the volume of consumption throughout Ukraine and in Kyiv in particular... The destruction is significant,” he said.

According to him, distribution system operators must adhere to these restrictions in order not to worsen the state of the system. Therefore, emergency shutdowns may be applied, but the power must be supplied to critical infrastructure facilities.

A number of thermal power plants are not working due to serious damage. It is too early to predict the recovery time, Kovalenko said.

Occupants shelled the premises of the Red Cross of Ukraine

On January 15, Russian troops shelled the premises of the Ukrainian Red Cross in Kherson. This was reported by Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko.

According to him, the shelling caused a serious fire. There was no information about the victims.

“The enemy knew where to strike. During the shelling of the same building in mid-December, a volunteer and a member of the Red Cross rapid response team Viktoriia Yaryshko was killed,” said Tymoshenko.
