Footage also confirmed heavy damage to the largest thermal power plant in the Kharkiv region Zmievskaya TPP, which was struck on March 22. The Ukrainian company Centrenergo confirmed that the station was almost completely destroyed. All energy blocks were destroyed, and auxiliary equipment was damaged. Zmievskaya TPP was launched in 1960 and supplied electricity not only to Kharkiv, but also to the neighboring Sumy and Poltava regions.
Despite the constant Russian strikes and heavy damage to the industrial infrastructure, the Ukrainian mayor believes that there are no reasons for evacuation of the remaining civilians from Kharkiv.
