Occupied Alchevsk left without electricity

In the Luhansk region, the temporarily occupied city of Alchevsk has been left without electricity due to a system overload caused by the lack of a centralized heating supply.

This was reported on Telegram by the Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Oleksii Kharchenko, according to Ukrinform.

“In Alchevsk, which has been occupied since 2014 and a significant part of which has been without heating for several days, the power supply has also disappeared. The reason is not military operations, but the inaction of the local occupiers and the neglect of communal problems on the part of the Russian Federation,” Kharchenko wrote.

According to him, the power grid failure was caused by an excessive load on the system due to the lack of centralized heating.

He noted that the city's boiler rooms are not operating due to failures in outdated equipment.

“It should be noted that the Russians reported that the city was 100% ready for the heating season back in October,” the official added.
