As of now, the rubble is being cleared. There is no access to most of the equipment.

There is therefore no opportunity to accurately assess the extent of the damage, precise figures regarding the amount of money needed for repairs or any forecasts regarding repair time. 

Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko visited the thermal power plant and promised assistance through donors.

Quote from Halushchenko: "We have money. There is a fund to support the energy sector. It is operational. Therefore, everyone is ready to help!"
