“An energy facility, which provided power supply for the entire right-bank Kherson region and a significant part of the Mykolaiv region, has been practically destroyed. It no longer exists. Two autotransformers, weighing 250 tonnes each, were blown up. The relay protection, compressor and battery rooms – everything that had not been destroyed in explosion, [Russian] terrorists additionally shot and crushed. Several hectares of the effects of the occupiers’ impotent rage before they fled from the right-bank Kherson region. A vile horde that only knows how to destroy,” Kudrytskyi wrote.
