Head of Kyiv reveals results of new attacks on province and state of preparations

The Russian army continues to shell our critical infrastructure facilities, Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration Oleksii Kuleba told the Eastern Europe bureau of Report.

"Now is the time that everyone can see and observe what is happening. It's no secret that the Russian army wants to destroy our energy system in order to leave us without electricity and, accordingly, without water and heat. And it will simply continue to destroy us with such methods, absolutely inhuman ones," he said.

According to Kuleba, on October 10-11 and on October 17-18, missile strikes continued from the air and the territory of the Russian Federation against critical infrastructure facilities and residential areas of the region:

"Unfortunately, there were also casualties - one person died, ten were injured, these are all civilians who have nothing to do with military operations. As for the destruction of residential infrastructure, 60 houses were damaged, mainly the private sector, and eight of them were completely destroyed. For people, this was the only housing, now we are working to find where they would spend the winter. That's because we have the hardest time ahead of us - the winter period."

He stressed that all the infrastructure that could have been quickly restored had been restored, and now repair work continues on objects that require more time: "Unfortunately, this has led to power outages throughout Ukraine. We are now making plans and schedules in order to balance the energy system so that people understand and plan their day with such rather serious difficulties in mind. All this confirms once again that the goal of the Russian Armed Forces is not the information theses they are talking about but something completely different. They want to destroy us as a state, as a people, but they will not succeed, regardless of whether we have electricity or not. We will continue to destroy them and drive them out of our territory."
