The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, denounced this on Wednesday wave of Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructurewhich has caused massive power outages in Ukraine and neighboring Moldova. in Ukraine, at least four people have died and there is at least 30 injured after the attacks, which damaged 50% of the country’s energy infrastructure.

“Strong condemnation of Russia’s renewed criminal attacks against civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine. Mass blackouts, including in Moldova,” the head of European diplomacy criticized in a post on social networks.

The High Representative has described it as “cruel and inhumane” for millions of people to be left without water, electricity or heating in winter and has stated that despite Russia’s actions, the EU will maintain its support for Ukraine and Moldova.

Moldova experienced a “massive blackout” this Wednesday due to a new wave of attacks by Russian forces on neighboring Ukraine, which again allegedly affected energy infrastructure, the Moldovan government said.

Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spinu, in charge of Infrastructure, has stated that the company that manages the grid is “working to reconnect more than 50% of the country to electricity”. One of the cities hit by the blackout is Moldova’s capital, Chisinau, according to local media.

In this context, the massive rocket attack on Kiev and other Ukrainian cities left at least four dead and 30 injured: “Russia has shown the whole world that this is true,” said Ukrainian President, Volodímir Zelensky, in reference to the statement of Russia, by the EU, as a state that “promotes terrorism”, “using 67 missiles against our infrastructure, our energy network and our people. The result is tragic: a large number of injuries and deaths,” he said.

According to Ukrainian authorities, 50% of the country’s energy infrastructure has been damaged by Russian air strikes, forcing them to take emergency measures to cope with the arrival of winter, which may be the worst, according to the mayor of Kiev since the days of World War II.
