Nearly 100,000 residents of LPR left without electricity due to AFU strikes - Andryushchenko

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have cut power to virtually the entire north of the temporarily occupied Luhansk region.

Petro Andryushchenko, head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, stated this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"In the Luhansk region, a power substation has gone offline. The occupied territories are on the verge of an energy collapse, which should radically change the situation on the front line and intensify destabilization in the immediate rear," Andryushchenko wrote.

His statements are confirmed by information from the official Telegram channel of the so-called Government of the LPR, according to which one of the substations has been taken out of service, leaving four cities and adjacent settlements without power.

As Ukrinform previously reported, in a number of villages in the Luhansk region temporarily occupied by Russia, there has been no electricity since spring 2022.
