“We know that the regime in Kyiv, under the leadership of its Western curators, has been working on a provocation against the Kremenchug, Srednedneprovsk and Dnieper hydroelectric power stations for more than three weeks,” he wrote on Telegram.

Rogov noted the high probability of a counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to the intensification of hostilities and the concentration of enemy forces on the line of contact.

“I want to appeal to the command of the Russian Armed Forces and to the residents of the Zaporozhye region with a request to increase vigilance both in the Zaporozhye LBS and throughout the Zaporozhye region,” he added.

Earlier, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, said that Energodar and the suburbs had been de-energized since Saturday after shelling by Ukrainian troops.

On the evening of October 9, the city administration announced the restoration of power supply and cellular communications.
