The Ministry of Defense called the targets of the strikes objects of military control systems, communications and energy.
“We see that they (the Russian military.—RBC) struck at several new [facilities], but they also fired at [facilities] that had already been shelled in order to completely destroy them,” Galushchenko noted.
As a result of the strikes, power outages began in Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Lviv, Ternopil and other regions of Ukraine. In some regions, electricity consumption was limited on October 20.
