The occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region is facing a rather difficult situation due to the energy crisis. However, these are not the only difficulties that the occupiers have faced.
A Channel 24 correspondent from Zaporizhia described the problems Ukrainian forces have created for Russians in the occupied territories. He explained the reasons for the problems with energy supply in the occupied territories.
“Forced restrictions” are being introduced in the occupied territories
The correspondent noted that the enemy is experiencing a terrible energy crisis in the occupied territories.

“The chief Gauleiter of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, Yevhen Balytsky, is posting a photo report on how he is trying to ensure the life of the region in conditions of forced “restriction” of electricity supply. That is, the blackout there has already reached total proportions,” he explained.
Pay attention! Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia plans to plunder the occupied southern regions of Ukraine and deindustrialize them. Previously, the occupiers did the same with Donbas. In addition, as the Ukrainian leader reported, the Russians seek to increase the extraction of minerals, namely titanium, lithium, tantalum, niobium, zircon, molybdenum and graphite at 18 deposits. At the same time, Kyiv will find ways to counteract this looting, as Zelenskyy noted.
In particular, according to him, Balytsky is warning the population in the occupied territories not to create a stir. The occupied authorities are also introducing a temporary restriction on the release of fuel to certain hands.
There are queues at gas stations because there is not enough fuel,
– the correspondent noted.
At the same time, Ukrainian drones, as he noted, are disrupting the enemy's logistics. First of all, they strike Russian fuel tankers moving along the Novoazovsk – Mariupol – Berdyansk route. All these hit fuel tankers burn there and remain on the side of the road. Their drivers and supplier companies, as he emphasized, are very afraid and refuse to travel along this route.
The occupiers' logistical routes are under threat
Ukrainian forces, using drones that can fly 150 kilometers deep from the LBZ, strike at the enemy's logistics. For example, on the route between Mangush (in Donetsk region) and Berdyansk (in Zaporizhia region), the enemy used to move calmly, transferring equipment and tankers. Then Melitopol, Vasylivka and the Orekhovo area were saturated with this.
However, as a result of the work of Ukrainian drones, the enemy is forced to change the logistical route through the village of Urzuf. Also, in the Mariupol area, two trucks were recently hit at the Voznesenka checkpoint (from the Russian side) – Novoazovsk (occupied part of Donetsk region). In addition, two enemy fuel trucks were burned in the Mangush area. The occupiers are not even saved by the fact that they disguise military transport as civilian.
