In a calculated strike, Russia targeted Ukraine's power supply, unleashing a barrage of missiles and drones on key facilities across the nation. The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest, teetered on the brink of blackout as one of its crucial power lines was severed in the assault. This catastrophic event underscores the ruthless nature of Putin's forces as they escalate their aggression on mainland Ukraine. Reports from Ukrainian officials confirm the severity of the attack, with the external overhead line of PL-750kV Dniprovska being disconnected, jeopardizing the safety systems vital for the nuclear plant's operation. Despite the dire circumstances, the plant remains connected to the Ukrainian power system through heroic efforts by Ukrainian energy workers, who recently repaired the PL-330kV Zaporizhzhia TPP Ferosplavna transmission line after previous Russian shelling. The devastation extends beyond the nuclear plant, with Russia's airstrikes targeting other critical infrastructure, including the DniproHES hydroelectric dam in Zaporizhzhia and power supplies in cities like Kharkiv, causing widespread partial blackouts and disrupting essential services. #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #zelenskyy #putin #tnworld #worldnews
