Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is pretending to be open to diplomacy and peace negotiations while Russia continues to launch brutal attacks on Ukraine’s Chernihiv and Sumy regions, leaving many communities without power.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said this in a post on X, according to Ukrinform.
“Putin pretends to be ready for diplomacy and peace negotiations, while in reality this night Russia launched a brutal missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Energy infrastructure was under heavy strikes once again. Many communities have been left without power amid cold autumn temperatures, some have been left without water,” he wrote.
Sybiha stressed that while energy response teams are working to restore power supply, he is urging all partners in Europe and beyond to urgently mobilize additional assistance for Ukraine’s resilience: from energy equipment to energy sources and air defense capabilities.
Earlier reports said that emergency power outages occurred in Chernihiv and northern parts of the Chernihiv region following an attack by Russian drones.
