It also affects our situation in the region and the general situation in Ukraine.”

Details: According to Asinenko, the repair teams have a lot of work, but the main problem remains the safety component. Constant Russian shelling prevents prompt liquidation of the consequences of damage.

Separately, the official cited recovery statistics for the past year. During 2025, the energy industry in Donetsk region restored 2,400 facilities. Also, 2,100 kilometers of overhead lines and 63 underground lines, which were damaged as a result of hostilities, were repaired.

Direct speech: “We leave and work where active hostilities are taking place. Even if somewhere far from the front line, it is still very dangerous to work in our region now.

There are security components, maybe someday we have to wait until the shelling ends, but still we go and work.”
