“Serious damage to the equipment of the thermal power plants,” reads the statement, noting that this is the third Russian attack in October alone against the facilities of this energy sector company, totaling 210 offensives against its production units since the war began on February 24, 2022.
DTEK operates five thermal power plants in Ukraine and three others in territory occupied by Russia, with one having been completely destroyed by bombings. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops repelled 55 Russian attacks in the last 24 hours on the front in Pokrovsk, a city in the Donetsk region, where fighting is taking place between soldiers from both sides.
According to the latest information published by the Ukrainian war monitoring platform DeepState, the Russian army continues to attempt to breach Ukrainian defenses by infiltrating groups of five to ten men into the city.
As suggested by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, Ukrainian troops would be surrounded, and the Russian leader urged Kiev to order its soldiers to surrender, as happened in the first year of the war when Ukraine completely lost the city of Mariupol. Ukraine responded with a statement from the Army denying that its troops are surrounded in Kupiansk.
