In brief
Russian forces concentrate attacks on a single region for several days, including strikes on electricity networks and substations, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. Power restoration continues in Zaporizhzhia and the Dnipropetrovsk region.
In his evening video address on November 15, Zelenskyy said Russian forces select a region as a particular target and concentrate strikes there for several days. Electricity networks and substations are among the targets, he said.
He described a very difficult situation in Zaporizhzhia and the Dnipropetrovsk region following Russian attacks, with numerous power outages. Electricity was being restored in some places, but substantial work remained, he said. The cited report did not specify a deadline for completing restoration.
According to Zelenskyy, the Dnipropetrovsk region recorded the highest number of strikes and hits since the start of September, at 131, followed by the Kyiv region with 125. These figures refer to strikes and hits, rather than damaged substations. He said the hardest-hit regions also had the most work for energy workers, municipal services and Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
