Russia is launching massive attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and emergency power cuts have been introduced in a number of regions.

According to Ukrinform, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy reported this on Facebook.

“Russia is once again attacking our energy infrastructure. As a result, emergency power cuts have been introduced in a number of regions of Ukraine,” the statement said.

As soon as the security situation allows, rescue workers and energy specialists will begin to eliminate the consequences of the attack in order to restore power supply in the regions as soon as possible.

Emergency power cuts will be lifted once the situation in the power grid has stabilized.
