Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he expects new attacks this week that could be as bad as last week's missile bombardment, which left millions of people with no heat, water, or power.
The United States will announce new aid on Tuesday, November 29, to help Ukraine restore electricity as its people faced another week of brutal cold and darkness after Russian strikes on its power grid caused rolling blackouts.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who arrived in Bucharest early on Tuesday, will announce new assistance to help restore Ukraine’s power transmission capacity, a senior State Department official told reporters on condition of anonymity. Washington has been working with U.S. utilities and hardware providers and with European nations to locate equipment that can restore high-voltage transmission stations damaged by Russian missile strikes, the official said.
With Russia’s invasion in its ninth month, Zelenskiy described Moscow’s destruction in Ukraine as an act of revenge, and he promised that Ukraine will rebuild “every site destroyed by the occupiers.” National grid operator Ukrenergo said on Monday it had been forced to resume regular emergency blackouts across the country after a setback in its race to repair energy infrastructure.
Ukraine’s armed forces General Staff said late on Monday that Russian forces were heavily shelling towns on the west bank of the Dnipro River, including Kherson, abandoned by Moscow earlier this month. Zelenskiy said in his address that Russian forces shelled Kherson and communities in the region 258 times in the last week alone.
The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs fitted onto abundantly available rockets, allowing Kyiv to strike far behind Russian lines as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms.
