Ukraine’s energy system spared serious damage despite Russian attack
Preventive technical measures and the excellent work of the Air Defence Forces meant that the Ukrainian energy system was not seriously damaged in the latest missile attack by the terrorist state on Saturday, 31 December.
This was announced by Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko on Facebook.
"Thanks to the excellent work of the Air Defence Forces and advance technical measures, it has been possible to avoid serious damage to Ukraine’s energy system today, 31 December 2022. Power engineers are working non-stop to restore the electricity supply," the minister said.
He added that this year's Christmas and New Year are the most difficult in the entire history of independent Ukraine. However, despite the aggressor's plans, Ukrainian energy workers are going above and beyond to ensure that Ukrainians have light on New Year's Eve.
