As a result of Russian missile strikes, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions of Ukraine have been fully de-energized.

That’s according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, who broke the news on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

“A total blackout in the Kharkiv & Donetsk regions, a partial one in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk & Sumy regions,” Zelensky tweeted.

Russian terrorists remain terrorists, attacking critical infrastructure, the president stressed.

“No military facilities, the goal is to deprive people of light & heat,” the tweet concludes.

The hashtag reads #RussiaIsATerroristState.

The deputy chief of the President’s Office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, reported on Telegram that the occupiers targeted critical infrastructure facilities outside Kharkiv, hitting it with two cruise missiles.

"Firefighters are currently on site. Power engineers are working to restore critical infrastructure systems so that power supplies can be restored to hospitals and other vital facilities as soon as possible," he wrote.

Tymoshenko noted that power supplies to the affected communities would be restored soon.

According to the deputy head of the President's Office, power outages may occur throughout the country as the Russians seek to leave Ukraine without electricity, water, and heat.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the evening of September 11, the enemy launched 11 cruise missiles at Ukraine. As a result of the shelling, power outages were reported in a number of regions of Ukraine.
