Partisans spoke about the consequences of the Russian occupation in various regions of Ukraine
The "Atesh" partisan movement has reported a deterioration in the humanitarian situation in the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia. According to activists, residents are facing power outages, shortages of water and fuel, as well as problems with the logistics system.
Representatives of the “Atesh” military-partisan movement have gathered data on the critical situation regarding the supply of electricity, water, and fuel, as well as the complex logistical challenges in the regions of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia. According to the movement, the problems arose in the wake of the “Crimean Circuit Breaker Off” operation by the Unmanned Systems Forces, during which 19 power substations in Crimea and the Donetsk region were struck on July 23–24.
According to “Atesh,” the most dire situation has developed in the occupied cities of Berdiansk and Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. There, the partisans claim, power outages last from four to six days straight. Furthermore, after power is restored, the voltage in the grid fluctuates between 123 and 195 volts, causing household appliances to malfunction and leading to further emergency power outages.
In Melitopol, water supply disruptions have occurred due to the shutdown of pumping stations. According to the movement, the Yurivka and Pishchane districts have been without water for more than eight days. In Berdyansk, due to power supply issues at the wastewater treatment plants, residents are facing a shortage of drinking water, and, according to the partisans, tap water contains rust and other impurities.
“Atesh” also reported fuel shortages in Berdyansk. According to the movement, due to a shortage of gasoline, the price of A-95 has reached about 220 Russian rubles per liter.
In the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk, according to the partisans, accidents at power substations occur regularly. In particular, in the Kirovsky district, 65 transformers failed simultaneously, leaving about 600 customers without electricity. At the same time, water is being supplied to the city on a scheduled basis. According to “Atesh,” a similar situation is observed in occupied Mariupol, where residents are forced to stockpile water due to fears of a complete shutdown of the water supply system.
Separately, the resistance movement drew attention to the situation in the temporarily occupied Crimea. According to their data, a man-made emergency has been declared on the peninsula due to power outages. In Alushta, Yalta, and Saki, the movement reported, there was no electricity for two to four days, while in Sevastopol, rolling blackouts are in effect, which periodically cause electric public transportation to stop due to voltage fluctuations.
In addition, “Atesh” reported that limits have been imposed on fuel sales at Crimean gas stations belonging to the “ATAN” and “TES” chains. According to the movement, a single vehicle may receive no more than 20 liters of fuel; refueling is carried out using vouchers or QR codes, and the sale of gasoline in jerry cans is prohibited. The partisans also report significant traffic jams at the “Chongar” checkpoint and near the Crimean Bridge, where queues of up to 600–700 vehicles are reportedly forming due to manual vehicle inspections.
As a reminder, Russia attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 50 times on July 25.
Since the start of the day, Russian troops have attacked Ukrainian Armed Forces positions 79 times.
Madyar stated that the number of Russian troops on the front lines is increasing.
On the morning of July 25, Russian troops struck Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs. One woman was killed in the attack, and several others were wounded. Rescue and emergency services are working at the scene, and details regarding the consequences of the shelling are being clarified.
