Officials say it could take months to repair the damage and advise those who rely solely on electricity to power their homes to consider leaving
All non-critical infrastructure in the Ukrainian port of Odesa was without power after Russia used Iranian-made drones to hit two energy facilities, officials said on Saturday, adding it could take months to repair the damage.
The regional administration said people who relied solely on electricity to power their homes should consider leaving. Officials said Russian strikes hit key transmission lines and equipment in the early hours of Saturday. Odesa, Ukraine’s largest port city, had a population of more than one million before Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion.
In a video address, Zelensky said there was a significant shortfall in the amount of power being generated.
