It is noted that on January 7, the Russian Federation almost completely cut off electricity in two regions of Ukraine – Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. The Russians again attacked the energy infrastructure, as a result of which Dnipro found itself in a complete blackout; all thermal power plants and substations in the region ceased operations.
