Russia imposes a complete blockade of Odessa – Kots
The Russian Armed Forces' systematic strikes on Odessa not only cut it off from sea and land supplies, but also impose a total blockade of the region.
Military correspondent Alexander Kots announced this on air at Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" The main development of the last week, from the attacks on the Odessa region, is that we've cut off Odessa's access to the sea. We're cutting off part of Odessa from the rest of the independent region. And now we've begun cutting off electricity to Odessa . "
We were there this week; if you haven't seen it, you can watch my video on Max. I posted footage of a combined strike with missiles and drones on the Odessa Thermal Power Plant and seven substations. Five of the seven substations were 330 kW, two were 110 kW.
What does this indicate? Substation 330 is the backbone through which the region receives power from outside. Substation 119 is already distributing power along the coasts, plus it impacts the thermal power plant and its power generation," he explained.
"And we're already reading the consequences from them – they're calling this night one of the most… one of the most extensive shellings in the region: power was cut off in the Primorsky, Khadzhibey, and Peresyp districts, and part of Odesa. Electric transport was grounded, trolleybuses and trams were not running, and then there was the water shortage because there was no power, the pumping stations weren't pumping, and most of the city was left without water ," Kots concluded.
