A Russian airstrike struck the Sloviansk Thermal Power Plant in the east of Ukraine, killing two people and injuring several others, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on October 30.
“Just a few hours ago, there was a strike on the Sloviansk TPP—a strike by Russian bombs. Unfortunately, two people were killed. My condolences. There are wounded,” Zelenskyy stated.
He described the attack as another act of terror against civilian infrastructure.
“Normal nations don’t wage war like this,” Zelenskyy pointed. “And there must be an appropriate global response to such Russian aggression.”
The Ministry of Energy identified the victims as Serhii Dyachenko and Mykhailo Hryhoriev, both employees of the power plant. Five other workers sustained injuries and were taken to hospital, the ministry said.
Zelenskyy also pointed that Ukraine is working closely with international partners to stabilize its energy system ahead of winter.
“It is very important that we have concrete agreements with Norway on energy—including gas purchases,” he said. “We also have agreements with Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands on equipment for power generation and are counting on support from the European Commission.”
The president added that Ukraine’s Energy Minister was meeting with G7 counterparts to coordinate further assistance. “These are countries that can and will support Ukraine. We are ensuring consistent work with them,” Zelenskyy noted.
Earlier, it was reported that US intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia shows no signs of being ready to compromise on Ukraine, with Russian leader Vladimir Putin now “more dug in than ever.”
