  • along the Slavutych str. — over 7,200 m2;

  • along Petro Sahaidachnyi (Borodynska) street — over300 m2.

The Russian Federation struck the Dnipro HPP

The Russians attacked the Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia on March 22. A fire broke out there. Due to the shelling of the city, the road crossing of the Dnipro HPP dam is entirely restricted.

Traffic is carried out through the Arch Bridge on Khortytsia island (Serhiy Tyulenin Str. - Sichi Str. - Taganska St.). It is also open through Novi Mostly and Khortytskyi district.

Because of this, there is a threat of a blackout at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, the line to the ZNPP has been de-energised.

In addition, the head of "Ukrhydroenergo" Ihor Syrota, also reported that two direct hits were made at the Dnipro HPP-1 and HPP-2.

For today, there is the fact that we are losing the station. HPP-2 is under threat, we don't know in what volume and with what power it will be able to operate. It was because of the hit, because two missiles flew directly at HPP-2, said the head of "Ukrhydroenergo" Ihor Syrota.
