It is reminded that Russian troops have again massively attacked Ukrainian energy. Due to the shelling, 'Ukrenergo' performed emergency power cuts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russians launched over 70 rockets at Ukraine. DTEK thermal power plants were damaged.
Every Russian massive strike requires Time to prepare. It is never a spontaneous decision. It is a conscious choice not only of targets but also of time and date. Today, Putin consciously chose Christmas for the attack. What could be more inhumane? Over 70 rockets, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred strike drones. The targets are our energy sector. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine,' he said.
Zelensky added that, according to preliminary data, Ukrainian defenders managed to shoot down over 50 rockets and many drones.
Because of the shelling, one of the power transmission lines between the Zaporizhzhia NPP and Ukraine's energy system was disconnected.
On December 23, due to enemy shelling, emergency cuts were made. This became necessary due to the damage to equipment and the loss of certain generating capacities.
Ukraine needs 19 air defense systems to protect energy infrastructure from Russian bombings.
