Quote: "Another type of Russian terrorist attack: targeting the Ukrainian energy sector and critical infrastructure facilities. Since 10 October, 30% of Ukraine's power stations have been destroyed, causing massive blackouts across the country. No space left for negotiations with Putin’s regime."

Details: Herman Halushchenko, Ukraine’s Energy Minister, believes that one of the reasons for the Russian attacks is that the export of Ukrainian electricity to Europe "helps European countries save on Russian gas and coal."

Kyrylo Tymoshenko, Deputy Head of the President’s Office, called on Ukrainians during the national joint 24/7 newscast to prepare for possible rolling blackouts of electricity, water supply or heat supply.
