“But the Russian terrorists did not achieve their goals – the energy system of Ukraine is operating in a balanced mode, there are no plans to turn off the power supply,” he noted.
Earlier today, the Ministry of Energy reported that during the day due to Russian shelling and military operations, there were power cuts in the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions.
At the same time, the ministry reminded that on September 26 planned power outages in Ukraine are not predicted.
The Air Force of Ukraine reported that on the night of September 26, the Russian army launched 78 Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles in the regions of the country, of which 66 were shot down, another eight drones were lost in location in several regions of Ukraine, and one returned to Russia.
The Ministry of Energy emphasizes that the significant damage caused by Russia’s massive attacks, in particular one of the largest attacks on the energy industry on August 26, continues to complicate the operation of the energy system. In addition, Russian troops do not stop daily shelling of energy infrastructure facilities.
According to the ministry, since October 2022, Russia has carried out more than a thousand strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities, and this year alone, 9 GW of generating capacity was lost due to strikes.
Last week, the UN mission said that Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have caused significant damage and could lead to even more devastating consequences as winter approaches.
