The barrage came a day after the Russian Defence Ministry vowed a response to what it said was an attack on Russian soil using multiple Western-supplied missiles
, targeting energy production and compelling authorities to shut down the power grid in some areas despite freezing winter weather, officials said.
Kyiv hasn’t confirmed that attack, though it said Tuesday that it hit an oil refinery and a fuel storage depot, a chemical plant producing ammunition and two anti-aircraft missile systems, in a missile and drone attack that reached around 1,100 kilometres into Russia. The situation there is “critically bad” as Russian forces are intent on cutting off the Dnipro highway, which is a vital supply route for Pokrovsk, Serhii Filimonov, commander of the 108th Separate Mechanized Battalion, told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
“The enemy continues to terrorize Ukrainians,” Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko wrote on Facebook. Last September, the U.N. refugee agency reported that Ukraine had lost more than an estimated 60% of its energy generation capacity.
