Energy facilities in western Ukraine hit hardest by today's attack – Svyrydenko

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Immediately after the overnight shelling, we coordinated all services to deal with the consequences of today's attack. The enemy used more than 600 drones and dozens of missiles. This was a deliberate, cynical Russian strike on the eve of Christmas. At a time when people are preparing for the holiday, the enemy tried to leave Ukrainian families without light, heat, and a sense of security," the statement said.

Svyrydenko had that energy facilities in Ukraine's western regions had been hit hardest by the attack.

Emergency power outage schedules are currently being implemented across the country. They will be lifted as soon as the situation in the power system stabilizes.

Regional military administrations and all concerned services are already working to restore electricity to people as quickly as possible, with all available resources engaged. Further updates on the state of the energy system will be provided by the Ministry of Energy jointly with Ukrenergo.
