Immediately after the night shelling, the government coordinated all services to eliminate the consequences of today's attack. The enemy used more than 600 drones and dozens of missiles.

This was reported by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on her Telegram channel, according to Censor.NET.

"It was a deliberate, cynical Russian attack on the eve of Christmas. At a time when people were preparing for the holiday, the enemy tried to leave Ukrainian families without light, heat and a sense of security," the statement said.

Consequences

According to Svyrydenko, energy facilities in western Ukraine were most affected by the attack.

"Due to the enemy's actions throughout the country, emergency power cuts are being implemented. They will be cancelled as soon as the situation in the power system stabilises.

The Ministry of Energy, together with Ukrenergo, will provide updates on the further status of the power system.
