UKRAINE - Ukraine is bracing for fresh Russian attacks on its infrastruc­ture, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, after Kyiv’s mayor urged residents to prepare for a worstcase scenario by making emergency plans to leave town and stay with friends or family.

The country faced a 32 per cent deficit in projected power supply yesterday, Sergei Kovalenko, CEO of YASNO, a major supplier of energy to the capital, said on his Facebook page.

“This is a lot, and it’s force majeure,” he said. Meanwhile national energy authoritie­s warned of planned outages but also possible further restrictio­ns in the capital and the region around it as well as six further regions of the truth so the word of the headquarte­rs is not contradict­ed,” he said. Zulu said the royal family had submitted Simakade’s name to the president country.

The warnings followed remarks by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urging residents to ‘consider everything’ including a worst-case scenario where the capital loses power and water.

“If you have extended family … or friends outside Kyiv, where there is autonomous water supply, an oven, heating,” he said in a weekend television interview, ‘please keep in mind the possibilit­y of staying there for a certain amount of time’.

Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address that more than 4.5 million consumers were already without power.

Zelenskyy did not elaborate on his statement that Russia needed Iranian missiles to target Ukraine’s energy but another name was later sent. He expressed concern over the rift in the family regarding who should have taken the reins from King Zwelithini. infrastruc­ture.

Iran acknowledg­ed for the first time Saturday that it had supplied Russia with drones Moscow has been using to target power stations and civilian infrastruc­ture but said it did so before the war. Iran’s foreign minister also denied Iran had provided Russia with missiles.

Ukrenergo, the grid operator, said power consumptio­n would have to be cut by 30 per cent. “From 6am until the end of the day, schedules of planned restrictio­ns will be put into effect,” it said on its Telegram channel.

Further emergency shutdowns could also take place to protect a system that it noted had already suffered ‘massive missile attacks’ on October 10, 11, 17, 22 and on November 2.
