More claims of torture in Kherson
Since Russia left More than two weeks have passed since the Russians left Kherson, and Ukrainian forces are finding places where torture may have taken place.
According to police, individuals claim that they were confined there, beaten, shocked, interrogated, and threatened with death. Five of these rooms have been discovered in the city, and at least four more have been discovered in the wider Kherson region.
Experts in human rights warn that the accusations made thus far may only be the beginning.
According to Oleksandra Matviichuk, the director of the Center for Civil Liberties, a local rights organization, “We’ve received information about torture and other kind of persecution of civilians for months.”
“I am afraid that horrible findings in Kherson still lie ahead.”
Air-raid alerts issued across Ukraine Although there were immediate reports of new Russian missile strikes, air-raid alerts were issued across Ukraine.
Even though Kyiv gave the all-clear, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia might be preparing new attacks almost a week after the last big wave of missile strikes, prompting officials in Ukraine to urge caution.
The governor of the Mykolaiv region in the southern part of Ukraine, Vitaliy Kim, stated, “Last time, the Russians also disguised the strike as a training flight… Let’s see.”
NATO says Russia is using winter as a weapon of war.
NATO:According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Russia is using winter as a weapon of war. As a result, NATO allies will increase their support for Ukraine.
He told reporters in advance of a NATO foreign ministers’ meeting in Bucharest, “We have delivered generators and spare parts, and the allies are helping to rebuild destroyed infrastructure.”
He added that the gathering would be a platform for increasing Western aid to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure reconstruction.
Ukraine struggles to restore power
Nearly a week after Russian missile strikes damaged energy facilities across the country, Ukraine continues to struggle to restore full power.
According to Ukrenegro, the operator of the national power grid, the deficit in electricity had slightly increased since Monday as a result of emergency shutdowns at several power plants and increased consumption as winter approaches.
“As of 11:00 a.m. on November 29, electricity producers provide 70 percent of electricity consumption in Ukraine. The current capacity deficit is 30 percent.” On Facebook and Telegram, Ukrenergo stated.
“We emphasise that the general deficit in the energy system is a consequence of seven waves of Russian missile attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure,” the statement reads.
Since the beginning of October, Russia has been regularly using missiles to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with the air strikes on Wednesday causing a lot of damage.
