The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that Russian troops tried to attack the Kaniv and Dniester hydroelectric power plants on the night of March 29.
The Staff Results
Zelenskyy spoke about the results of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief meeting, which Oleksandr Lytvynenko, the new Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, convened.
The President reported that on that night, Russian terrorists again attacked the Ukrainian energy sector.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko, Chairman of the Boards of Ukrenergo and Naftogaz Volodymyr Kudrytskyi and Oleksiy Chernyshov reported on the damage and restoration work.
The meeting discussed the most effective physical protection methods and their implementation at other facilities.
That night, the Kanivs and Dnister HPPs became the conscious targets of the enemy. The terrorist country wants a repeat of the ecological disaster in the Kherson region. But now, not only is Ukraine under threat, but Moldova is also. The water will not stop in front of the border posts, just as the Russian war will not stop if it is not stopped together and in time in Ukraine.

Contracts for supplying weapons and ammunition were also discussed during the Staff meeting.
The need for air defence came to the fore. Due to the intensity of the Russian shelling, it is necessary to replenish supplies more quickly. Instructed to strengthen work with partners. We count on their quick reaction.
