Blackout hits Russian-occupied Ukrainian south
The temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya and Kherson oblasts were left without power overnight, the occupation authorities claimed on June 3, blaming a Ukrainian drone attack.
It reportedly damaged high-voltage equipment and substations in the Russian-occupied Henichesk district of Kherson Oblast and the Melitopol district of Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
The Moscow-appointed so-called governor of Kherson Oblast claimed that more than 100,000 residents in 150 settlements are without electricity.
Medical facilities are operating on backup power in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
