Mayor: Russian troops strike critical infrastructure in Kharkiv throughout day

Russian troops have been attacking critical infrastructure facilities that provide Kharkiv residents with heat, hot and cold water supply all day long.

This was reported by Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

He noted that during the last two attacks on the Sloboda and Shevchenkivskyi districts of the city, the invaders also targeted such facilities.

"The goal is clear — to destroy the energy island that we have been building in recent years and try to plunge our city, all of us, into cold and darkness. All our specialists, together with energy workers, are working around the clock to keep critical infrastructure in a state where it can continue to supply heat, water, and electricity to the homes of Kharkiv residents," the mayor emphasized.
