The company reminds that the reason for the introduction of restriction measures is the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities.
At the same time, it is reported that the situation in the power system may change.
On December 27, after another massive Russian attack, the head of Naftogaz Serhiy Koretskyi said that Russian troops hit mining facilities and CHP plants with Shaheds. According to him, these attacks are “synchronized with the cold weather – the enemy tries to take advantage of the frost and the peak load to bring the system out of order.”
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, the Russian military has increased its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
According to the Ministry of Energy, as of December 12, the Russian military has attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure 4,500 times since the beginning of this year.
On October 30, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine stated that due to Russian attacks there is a serious risk of dangerous consequences for civilians this winter, including long interruptions in heating, electricity and water supply. According to the UN, such interruptions will have a particularly painful effect on vulnerable groups of the population, such as the elderly, persons with disabilities and families with small children.
