Zelenskyy: Russian drone deliberately struck thermal power plant in Kherson

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reported that on 4 April Russian forces launched an FPV-drone directly at an energy facility — the Kherson thermal power plant. 

Source: Zelenskyy's address

Quote: "In total, 78 attack drones were launched during the past night alone, 56 of them Shaheds. Also today, in Kherson – another targeted strike by a Russian FPV drone hit an energy facility – the Kherson thermal power plant." 

Details: Zelenskyy stressed that such strikes could not be accidental as the Russians know that these are energy facilities and that such facilities must be protected from any attacks under the promises Russia made to the US side regarding the ceasefire arrangements. 

Quote: "Every Russian promise ends with missiles or drones, bombs or artillery. Diplomacy means nothing to them. And that's why pressure is needed – sufficient pressure on Russia so that they feel the consequences of every lie of theirs, every strike, every single day they take lives and prolong the war." 

Background: Pavlo Palisa, the Deputy Head of the Office of the Ukrainian President, stated on 3 April that Ukraine considers the ceasefire arrangements still valid while continuing to provide the US with evidence of Russian attacks.
