Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-backed authorities in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, has accused Kyiv of taking what he described as "exhaustive measures" to hinder reconstruction efforts in territory controlled by Russian-backed forces.
Pushilin said Ukrainian forces are specifically targeting the installation of utility networks and life-support systems in areas he referred to as liberated territories, framing the alleged actions as a deliberate effort to slow reconstruction.
The claims come from a Russian state-affiliated source and reflect the broader information contest surrounding the war in Ukraine, in which each side regularly accuses the other of targeting civilian infrastructure and reconstruction efforts.
Independent verification of the specific claims was not available from the source material, and Ukrainian authorities were not quoted responding to the allegations in the report.
The dispute over reconstruction in contested and occupied areas remains a recurring point of tension in statements from officials on both sides of the conflict.
