Zelensky creates a network of 'invincibility' with basic services against power outages due to Russian bombings
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the establishment of 4,000 'points of invincibility' across Ukraine to provide essential services during extended power outages caused by Russian missile attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky unveiled a new initiative on Tuesday aimed at bolstering the resilience of citizens in the face of ongoing Russian bombings. He announced the creation of a network consisting of 4,000 so-called 'points of invincibility' throughout the country, designed to ensure that basic services are maintained in the event of prolonged electrical outages. These measures come in response to the significant disruptions caused by missile strikes targeting the country’s infrastructure, which have left many without reliable access to electricity.
Zelensky emphasized that these points will become operational in the event of massive Russian attacks that severely disrupt power supply, stating that they will offer essential services around the clock. Each point will provide free access to electricity, mobile communications, internet service, heating, water, and first aid kits, aimed at supporting the civilian population during crises. The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens and maintaining a level of normalcy amid ongoing conflict and instability.
The establishment of these points is part of a broader strategy to enhance public safety and provide immediate assistance where it is needed the most. As winter approaches, the need for reliable access to heating and other necessities becomes increasingly urgent. The deployment of these 4,000 'points of invincibility' is not only a response to immediate threats but also serves as a symbolic gesture of resilience against ongoing adversities faced by the Ukrainian people.
