Quote: "Since October 2022, the enemy has inflicted more than a thousand attacks on civilian energy infrastructure. Of course, this affects the stability of the power system. Despite the fact that today the largest repair campaign continues. In fact, we are focused on restoring the work of those energy facilities where repairs are possible," Kolisnyk said.

Background: 

  • Ukraine ordered more transformers than Poland's whole consumption capacity.
  • To safeguard the station's safety, the IAEA requests that Russian military and other personnel leave immediately from the territory of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and return it to Ukrainian administration.
