WASHINGTON/KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the United Nations Security Council to act against Russia over air strikes on civilian infrastructure that again plunged Ukrainian
Russia unleashed a missile barrage across Ukraine on Wednesday, killing 10 people, forcing shutdowns of nuclear power plants and cutting water and electricity supply in many places.
The council is unlikely to take any action in response to the appeal since Russia is a member with veto power. The capital city of Kyiv was one of the main targets on Wednesday of the missile strikes. “Today we had three hits on high-rise apartment buildings. Unfortunately 10 people died,” said Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky. Reuters was unable to independently verify the report.
All of the Kyiv region, where over 3 million people live, lost electricity and running water, Kyiv’s governor said. Much of Ukraine suffered similar problems and some regions implemented emergency blackouts to help conserve energy and carry out repairs. Other regions were in varying stages of recovery. Only about 20% of electricity users in the Kyiv region were back online. “In Kyiv, the situation is very difficult,” the president said. “We expect a result…before lunch.”
That will not happen, Zelensky vowed in an earlier video address posted on the Telegram messaging app.First snow
