«Unfortunately, there is no doubt that they (Russian strikes, — note) will continue. Undoubtedly, the left-bank part of Ukraine is more vulnerable for a number of reasons. Now a lot of experts have appeared, and everyone knows that that's it, tomorrow there will be a blackout and there will be a total disaster. It's all lies and lies. There will be no total blackout in the country,» Herman Halushchenko assured.
