The press service noted that the station is currently does not working.

"Part of the population suffers due to lack of electricity and heat. After the de-occupation of the territory, the workers cannot yet start work on restoring the operation of the station and generating the electricity that is needed now," the message says.

The press service explained that the station is currently heavily mined, but specialists will inspect and clear the area in the near future.

"The police of the Kherson region is working to document as much as possible all the crimes committed by the Russian army on the territory of the region," the press service noted.
