A key energy facility in Chernihiv Oblast’s Novhorod-Siverskyi district was damaged by an overnight Russian strike, regional energy company Chernihivoblenergo reported on Facebook early on Jan. 12.
The attack left several settlements without electricity. Emergency repair crews will begin restoration work as soon as it is safe to do so.
Earlier, on Jan. 11, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said that there had not been a single day without attacks on energy facilities and other critical infrastructure over the past week. Forty-four attacks were recorded in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, and Kherson oblasts.
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.
