The shortage of electricity increased due to the stoppage of several blocks of thermal power plants due to attacks on gas infrastructure in the east of the country, Ukrenergo reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the agency, over the past three months Ukrainian power plants and their distribution networks have been seriously damage, and it takes time and considerable resources to restore them.

The Russian Armed Forces have attacked Ukrainian infrastructure since October 10, two days after the attack on the Crimean bridge, behind which Ukrainian special services were.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal declared after the November 15 attacks that nearly half of the country’s energy system was not functioning.

President Vladimir Zelensky, for his part, recently acknowledged that it is currently impossible to restore full operation of the Ukrainian energy system.
