Occupied Dniprorudne, Zaporizhzhia Region, left without heat supply – Center for Countering Disinformation

Another incident of infrastructure degradation was recorded in the temporarily occupied Dniprorudne, Zaporizhzhia Region: the local administration reported that boiler room No. 1 actually stops due to voltage drops in the network to 160V and below, and with such indicators, pump motors overheat and automatically turn off, leaving residential buildings and social institutions without coolant circulation.

The Center for Countering Disinformation reported this on its official page, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

According to the Center for Countering Disinformation, local "officials" called the outages "inevitable" - until "full voltage stabilization", which they themselves cannot predict.

"After Russian reconnections, chaotic integration decisions and lack of maintenance, the networks have lost stability. Voltage dips to emergency values ​​indicate overloading of the lines, massive system imbalance and lack of reserves that should prevent such failures," the Center for Countering Disinformation noted.

According to the Center for Countering Disinformation sources, the situation is complicated by illegal connections that the occupation structures have made in recent months.

Military facilities, warehouses and administrative buildings have actually "cut into" the already weakened lines, which has sharply increased the load.

Part of the equipment from substations, which was taken out under the pretext of repairs, has never been returned, and transformers are operating without regular maintenance and have long since exceeded their service life.

For residents, this means that radiators remain cold, boiler rooms are operating on the verge of stopping, and no one even predicts stabilization, so people are forced to freeze in their own homes, kindergartens and schools, where the temperature drops to critical values.

Social institutions are switching to emergency mode, and equipment risks completely failing.

"The situation in Dniprorudne clearly demonstrates: the heat supply system in the occupied Zaporizhia region today exists not as infrastructure, but as a destroyed remnant that relies on emergency generators and chance," the Center for Countering Disinformation summarized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in the Kherson Region, the occupiers disrupted heating in kindergartens.
