Quote: "If you count the large ones, it is about 70, I think. That's if you only count the big ones.

There are many smaller facilities that are damaged, for example, in the frontline areas by artillery, small transformer stations or power company substations. There are probably hundreds, thousands of them."

Details: Kudrytskyi said that about half of the entire power grid was damaged. "It was a global campaign and a global scale of damage," he added.

Background: It became known in July that Russia's intelligence service had begun to collect information about the state of Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
