Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have become more intense this year.
Ukraine's energy system is on the brink of collapse due to Russian strikes, reports the Washington Post.
The newspaper notes that Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have become more intense and extensive this year than ever before.
Sources from the publication indicate that, as a result, the entire eastern Ukraine and Kyiv may be left without electricity.
— We are, if not on the brink of a complete power outage in the east of the country, then very close to it, — said one high-ranking European diplomat to WP on the condition of anonymity.
Currently, residents in Kyiv are without electricity and heat for up to 16 hours a day. Businesses mainly operate on generators.
"It is too early to talk about putting a peace agreement to a nationwide referendum; the authorities will try to avoid this." This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky in response to journalists' questions in a WhatsApp chat.
— In any case, we are not talking about a referendum for now. It’s a complex document, complex decisions. We are trying to do everything so that life, which is already difficult for Ukrainians due to the war, is not complicated by various decisions, — he replied.
In addition to the peace agreement, Zelensky called holding elections a sensitive issue initiated by the United States.
