Russia launches full-scale attack on Ukrainian energy facilities…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched airstrikes on energy facilities across Ukraine early Wednesday, targeting seven regions with more than 50 missiles and drones, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The attacks also damaged the train station and tracks in the city of Kherson, which lies on the other side of Russian-controlled territory on the Dnieper, and injured two people in Brovary, adjacent to the capital Kiev, officials said.

Russia is consistently targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. On April 27th and a week earlier there was a serious air attack on energy facilities.

In a social media post, Zelensky noted that Wednesday’s attacks came on the day Ukraine marks the end of European fighting in World War II.

“Massive rocket attack by Nazi Putin on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II,” Zelensky said. “The whole world should clearly understand who is who; The whole world has no right to give National Socialism another chance.”

National power grid operator Ukrenergo said plants in the Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Poltava and Ivano-Frankivsk regions were affected.

According to regional governor Maksym Kozytskyi, two energy facilities were hit in the Lviv region, which is in the far west of the country and far from the front lines of fighting.
