Shmyhal: Ukraine currently imports electricity from five countries
After another massive attack by the Russian Federation, Ukraine’s energy system remains intact, but the situation is very difficult.
This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
"Last night, Russian terrorists carried out another massive missile and drone attack against our country. The main target of the attack is again our energy sector," he said.
The Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine had withstood another Russian attack, the energy system is intact, but the situation is very difficult, as there are problems with electricity supply in a number of regions.
He assured that the problem with electricity supply is being resolved, and Ukraine is importing electricity from Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Moldova to keep the system stable.
"Today's attack again severely damaged the equipment. Once again, the attack was aimed at both electricity generation facilities and the distribution system. It is very important for all of us to reduce electricity consumption now. This applies especially to evening hours," emphasized Shmyhal.
According to him, all services are currently working to overcome the consequences of the attack, and some of the facilities that were damaged during last week's attack have already been restored.
