Ukraine's Deputy Energy Minister Anatolii Kutsevol, together with U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Sheldon Whitehouse, visited a combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Kyiv that was damaged by Russian attacks.

That is according to the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

Kutsevol briefed the American partners on the consequences of enemy strikes on the facility, which before the shelling had provided heating to more than 1,000 apartment buildings, as well as schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and other social infrastructure in the capital.

He stressed that Russia is deliberately using attacks on energy infrastructure as a weapon, seeking to deprive Ukrainians of basic living conditions.

He also thanked the United States for humanitarian assistance already delivered to Ukraine. Ukrainian energy workers have received three shipments of humanitarian aid totaling about five tonnes. The total U.S. grant contribution to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund amounts to EUR 35.5 million.
