Russia attacked the energy system on the eve of Christmas: where the biggest damages occurred.

According to ТСН: On the night and morning of December 23, the army of the Russian Federation struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with the western regions suffering the most.

Comment from the Prime Minister

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko noted:

“This was a deliberate, cynical Russian strike on the eve of Christmas. While people are preparing for the holiday, the enemy tried to leave Ukrainian families without light, heat, and a sense of security.”

Emergency Shutdowns

Emergency shutdown schedules have been introduced across Ukraine, which will be canceled immediately after the stabilization of the situation in the energy system.

Response to the Shelling

Svyrydenko also emphasized:

“Immediately after the nighttime shelling, we coordinated all services to eliminate the consequences of today’s attack. The enemy used over 600 drones and dozens of missiles.”

It is worth noting that due to missile attacks, emergency power shutdowns were introduced in several regions of Ukraine. They are planned to be stopped after the stabilization of the situation in the energy system.

These new strikes on energy infrastructure underline the constant threat from the aggressor, especially at such important times for Ukrainians as Christmas celebrations. The authorities continue to take measures to protect and restore the energy system to minimize the negative impact on society and the economy.
