Enemy attack on energy infrastructure continues
The company said that in the past 24 hours alone, the enemy had deliberately attacked energy facilities more than 20 times, using an unprecedented number of weapons and causing significant damage to energy infrastructure.
"As a result of the attacks, emergency power cuts are currently having to be imposed in several regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv," the statement reads.

Thousands of energy workers are working to address the consequences of the attacks and restore electricity supplies. Ukrenergo said critical infrastructure facilities would be reconnected first.
"All services are coordinating continuously to stabilise the situation as quickly as possible. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power. We will provide further updates as the situation changes," the company added.
