21:58 After today’s Russian shelling, the Dnieper hydroelectric power station is in critical condition, said the head of the Zaporozhye Regional Administration Ivan Fedorov: “Now the Dnieper hydroelectric power station is in a critical condition. We are not even talking about the production of electricity. Now the movement from the left bank to the right is completely blocked, so residents are limited in traffic. Two bridges are used for the detour, where logistics have been established in both directions. We’ll keep it that way for the weekend.”
