Ryssland har tagit Ukrainas näst största kraftverk

Ryska trupper har intagit det näst största kraftverket i Ukraina – kolkraftverket Vuhlehirsk i Donetsk, rapporterar Sky News.

– De åstadkom en liten teknisk framgång, säger president Zelenskyjs rådgivare Oleksij Arestovytj i en videointervju.

Även ryskstödda separatiststyrkor i Donetsk uppger att man intagit kraftverket från Sovjettiden, som sägs vara intakt.
