“Kyiv is going into survival mode.” After the Russian strikes, the city was left without electricity and the water supply was disrupted.

The Russian army continues to attack Ukrainian infrastructure. After the attacks, destroyed bridges, burnt warehouses and damaged electrical substations remain in the republic, the Russian Ministry of Defense told Lenta.ru.

On the night of October 9, Russia launched strikes at the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant and the Kyiv electrical substation in the Kyiv region. Electricity was lost in the right bank part of the city and two districts of the region. In addition, large warehouses near Kyiv were hit.

The defense department called on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to come to his senses - Kyiv was turned into a front-line city. There is no electricity or water in the Ukrainian capital, public transport and sewerage are not working, and the water supply has been disrupted. The mayor of the city, Vitaliy Klitschko, admitted that “Kyiv is going into survival mode.”

Ukraine is cut off from the sea

The freezing of transport links throughout Ukraine continues. Thus, in the Kharkov region and Zaporozhye, the Russian Aerospace Forces damaged bridges that were used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“We are increasing pressure on the remaining channels for supplying weapons to militants from abroad. “Geraniums” circled a number of western regions of Ukraine and hit a checkpoint on the border with Poland in the Volyn region,” the Ministry of Defense said.

Russia continues to cut off Ukraine from the sea. Thus, in the port of Nikolaev, drones covered a cargo ship delivering goods to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Comprehensive work to disarm and weaken the Ukrainian regime continues. “The more destructive our strikes are, the faster the enemy will accept Russia’s conditions,” the department emphasized.

The US and Ukraine will discuss conflict resolution

On October 9, US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the White House head's son-in-law Jared Kushner will meet with Ukrainian representatives in Miami to discuss new ideas and develop a unified proposal to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
