Ukraine working to restore power after Russian missiles batter grid

The volley of missiles pitched multiple cities into darkness, cutting water and heat and forcing people to endure below-freezing temperatures.

LAST UPDATE | 17 Dec 2022

UKRAINE IS WORKING to restore electricity and water supplies after Russia’s latest wave of attacks pitched multiple cities into darkness and forced people to endure sub-zero temperatures without heating or running water.

The volley of missiles unleashed Friday came as President Vladimir Putin held extensive meetings with the military top brass overseeing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, where Moscow has stepped up bombardments.

In the capital Kyiv, the metro had stopped running so that people wrapped in winter coats could take shelter at underground stations after air raid sirens rang out on Friday morning.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said the metro service was re-launched early this morning and water supply had been restored.

However, a third of Kyiv residents were still without power, Klitschko added.

Power was also restored throughout the eastern city of Kharkiv on Saturday, regional governor Oleg Sinegubov said, after the strikes left Ukraine’s second city without electricity.

Ukraine’s national energy provider imposed emergency blackouts, saying on Saturday that the energy system “continues to recover”.

Ukrenergo had warned the extent of the damage in the north, south and centre of the country meant it could take longer to restore supplies than after previous attacks.

During a visit to the army staff on Friday, Putin sought out proposals from his military commanders on how Russia should proceed with the Ukraine offensive, according to the Kremlin.

The Kremlin released footage of Putin presiding over a round-table meeting with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov among other top brass.

‘Inhumane’ attack

After a series of humiliating battlefield defeats, Russia since October has pursued an aerial onslaught against what Moscow says are military-linked facilities.

But France and the European Union have said the suffering inflicted on freezing civilians constitutes war crimes, with the bloc’s foreign policy chief calling the bombings “barbaric”.

Russia fired 74 missiles – mainly cruise missiles – on Friday, 60 of which were shot down by anti-aircraft defences, according to the Ukrainian army.

Kyiv withstood one of the biggest missile attacks since the start of the invasion. Regional officials said their air defence forces had shot down 37 out of 40 missiles.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strikes left hit power and water supplies in Kyiv and 14 regions.

In the central city of Kryvyi Rig, where Zelenskyy was born, the air strikes hit a residential building.

A 64-year-old woman and a young couple with a little son died, governor Valentyn Reznichenko said Saturday, adding that 13 others had been wounded.

In the south, fresh Russian shelling in Kherson, recently recaptured by Ukraine, killed a 36-year-old man and injured a 70-year-old woman, governor Yaroslav Yanushevich said.

Kherson has been subjected to persistent Russian shelling since Moscow’s forces retreated in November, and power was cut in the city earlier this week.

‘Survive winter’

With about half of Ukraine’s energy grid damaged, the national operator warned yesterday of emergency blackouts.

In Ukrainian-held Bakhmut – an eastern city at the epicentre of the war – some residents received wood stoves distributed by volunteers, AFP journalists said.

Oleksandra, 85, braved the cold to collect medication at a pharmacy in the Donetsk region city.

“I’ll survive winter. I’ll just walk more to get warm,” the old woman told AFP.

In the south, fresh Russian shelling in Kherson, recently recaptured by Ukraine, killed one person and wounded three more.

Kherson has been subjected to persistent Russian shelling since Moscow’s forces retreated in November, and power was cut in the city earlier this week.

On Thursday, Russian attacks killed 14 people, deputy head of the president’s office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said.

In the Russian-controlled region of Lugansk in eastern Ukraine, Moscow-installed officials said shelling from Kyiv’s forces had killed eight and wounded 23.

“The enemy is conducting barbaric shelling of cities and districts of the republic,” Leonid Pasechnik, the Russian-installed leader of Lugansk, said on social media.

Protracted war

Moscow has said the strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure are a response to an explosion on the Kerch bridge connecting the Russian mainland to the Crimean peninsula, annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Ukrainian defence officials said this week that their forces had downed over a dozen Iranian-made attack drones launched at Kyiv, a sign that Western-supplied systems are having an impact.

Ukrainian military leaders have warned Moscow is preparing for a major winter offensive, including a fresh attempt to take Kyiv.

Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg told AFP that Russia was readying for a protracted war.

“We see that they are mobilising more forces, that they are willing to suffer also a lot of casualties, that they are trying to get access to more weapons and ammunition,” he said.

Aiming to push Moscow to the negotiating table, the EU Friday imposed further sanctions, adding restrictions on the export of drone engines to Russia or countries like Iran looking to supply Moscow with weapons.

Russia’s foreign ministry said Saturday the new package of “illegitimate unilateral restrictive measures” will not achieve its goal.

    I suffer from an auto-immune disease through no fault of my own and played sports up until after my diagnosis 12 years ago. I’ve spent the last 5 days chasing down a lightweight self propelled wheelchair through HSE and spent 4 hours yesterday trying to get hold of my medical team to discuss getting an x-ray in Cappagh because I was turned away from Cavan General because they feared “My hip was part of a recall and would not be able to help”. Michael Ring and rest of FG seem intent on rubbing the entire country up the wrong way. Idiots. They have NO IDEA what is happening in real world, to families, small businesses and communities. How dare Michael Ring say monies would be better spent on sport that hospitals. How about the money would be better spent on hospitals than Phil Hogans 9,000euro day trip, 6,000euro coffee machines. Not to mention the freebies … what do TDs and Senators do with their iPhones when they replace them every 18 months with publically subsidised new models??give them back?? Or scores of laptops??? The waste is unreal. Shut up Michael Ring & FG!

    He said money in hospitals, not in health care. There is a distinct difference.

    investments are a shambles unless the trouble makers and heavily union protected staff are pushed out so that the money can actually be used for front line treatments, and not paying for a nurse to come in at double time because the other nurse refused to work twenty mins over her contract time because her union said so.

    Surely you see some logic in this?

YES I would work over twenty mins and I have done lots more than that because I work in the private sector. Because attitudes like that snowballed due to do many of them, the sector could not afford to claw back these costs because now it would be too much of an ask to staff, hence you see the present situation.

    Well really he was taking about investment in Elite sports athletes. It’s not at all clear that winning medals in an Olympics makes the rest of the population fitter. Just looks at the top nation in London2012 (and most years) – the USA. Despite their huge Olympics success (and hosting the games on several occasions) they have an obesity epidemic.

    Compare that to a country like Finland with limited international sporting success but one of Europe’s healthiest populations. There the focus is on wide spread participation for all. Basically, there’s no point spending millions on a World class veledrome when kids can’t cycle to school safely.

    I don’t think you could take his speech yesterday as a coherent expression of policy :D

    The idea – which isn’t native to Ireland and has been adopted for many years both here and abroad – is that investing in sport leads to fitter people in the population, and that combats the epidemics of chronic conditions like obesity and type two diabetes and arthritis and other conditions we see when people live sedentary lives as they age.

    It’s not a bad idea. It just doesn’t mean “put money into sport *instead* of hospitals”. It’s more like “think of sport as a part of a long-term healthcare programme”.

    “Extrapolation from authoritative UK data suggests that these numbers could now amount to more than 300,000 overweight and obese children on the island of Ireland and they are probably rising at a rate of over 10,000 per year.”

    “This year about 2,000 premature deaths in Ireland will be attributed to obesity and the numbers are growing relentlessly. Diseases which proportionally more obese people suffer from than the general population include hypertension, type 2 diabetes, angina, heart attack and osteoarthritis. There are indirect costs also such as days lost to the workplace due to illness arising from obesity and output foregone as a result of premature death. Using the accepted EU environmental cost benefit method, these deaths alone may be costing the state as much as €4bn per year.”

    I am not going to argue the point of your statistics. I am not sporty and never was but I do walk daily when I can … However his comments hurt people who are presently waiting for medical assistance and or intervention,for what ever reason that may be. I just think the man , like his leader and cabinet colleagues , should think before they speak. They are very good at putting the boot when it is least necessary and always towards the most vulnerable among us.
    Of course we may all benefit from extra exercise and it should be encouraged where at all possible BUT to come along and say ”Money spent on sport; it’s better than putting it into hospitals, into consultants, into doctors and the more it can get people participating in sport, the better.” is a little more than insensitive in my book.

Michael meant no harm, but he does seem to have put his foot in it.
    And don’t think that if we were all athletic types that there would be less strain on the health resources. There’s a massive multimillion dollar global business in “Sport-related injuries” – different ailments but still expensive to treat.

    Dear God, talk about people looking to find offence. Get over yourselves. Perhaps it wasn’t worded the best but the meaning of what he was saying was clear and practically everybody knows what he was trying to say.

    Its a well know fact and policy that the more active people are in their lifestyle the less likely they are to be unfit, ill and needing of hospital care. Of course it doesn’t fit all as Jon Rainey points out above. People become ill for many reasons and sometimes for reasons that they can’t avoid. However in general the less active you are the more likely you are to suffer for health problems in the longer term and thus costs increase. Preventative medicine is a well know practice and one that is advocated by all health practioners and groups.

    But of course there’s nothing like a bit of fake outrage to get the Journal commentators going isn’t there!

I have nothing personal against this man but he commands a large salary. As someone that ran a business I would not have him working for me if he was presenting a product to my customers. So I dont want him having an important job in government. The problem we have is at least 60% of our politicians are this incompatent & we as a nation must change that. Its no good saying “he fixed the road”.
