russian drones and missiles targeted the electricity network, two... DTEK thermal power plants and key high-voltage substations. Damage to those substations has forced operators to reduce output at nuclear power plants, leading to a significant loss of available electricity in Ukraine. Although the energy system is operating at maximum capacity, the attacks have drastically reduced electricity supply. In Kyiv, residents have electricity for just 1.5 to 2 hours a day. Ukraine's energy workers need the help of our allies to strengthen air defences and send emergency energy equipment and mobile generators. #StandWithUkraineshow more

The devastating numbers of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy... infrastructure: Since the start of the heating season, Russia has attacked Ukrainian energy facilities and heat supply systems 256 times, the Security Service of Ukraine said. Russian forces deliberately targeted Ukraine's 11 hydroelectric power plants and 45 major combined heat and power plants. In addition, they carried out 49 targeted aerial strikes on thermal power plants and 151 strikes on electrical substations. Each attack was combined: dozens of Geran drones and Iskander, Kalibr, Kh-101, and Kh-69 missiles. The heaviest strikes were recorded in Kyiv and Kyiv region, as well as in Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv regions. The attacks during the sharp cold snap led to large-scale power, heat, and water outages in the homes of millions of Ukrainians. The SSU classifies Russia's systematic attacks on Ukraine's energy system as crimes against humanity. ❗️ This is a consistent policy of the Kremlin aimed at destroying the Ukrainian people.show more

During a meeting with Prime Minister of Romania Ilie... Ilie Bolojan, we discussed defense support. I thank Romania for its military assistance and contributions to the PURL initiative. Strengthening air defense is a priority for Ukraine. It is important to develop the energy network between our countries, which will help Ukraine amid shortages caused by ongoing Russian attacks on our energy infrastructure, and also support Romania when we have a surplus and can export electricity. Therefore, cooperation in the energy sector was also a key topic of our discussion. Particular attention was given to expanding border crossing points between Ukraine and Romania. We also discussed work on an intergovernmental agreement on joint oversight at the Ukraine–Romania border crossings. I thank Ilie Bolojan for the meeting and for his support of Ukraine.show more

DISASTER IN THE CHERNIHIV REGION: Due to continuous drone... attacks, the entire power system has been destroyed; the blackout is now worse than in 2022. The situation in the region is critical: due to constant attacks by russian "Shahed" drones, tens of thousands of people are left without electricity, water, and communications. Children do not attend kindergartens and schools, as educational institutions are closed due to lack of electricity. People are sitting in the cold, and critical infrastructure is collapsing. Today, Novhorod-Siverskyi suffered about 20 drone strikes. Drones have been flying over Chernihiv and surrounding settlements for days; power engineers are working in critical conditions, and emergency crews cannot restore power supply due to continuous strikes. Despite four years of continuous drone attacks, the authorities have failed to establish effective protection; interceptor drones or air defense systems do not provide reliable control, and emergency services cannot work effectively. Local authorities and the media have barely covered the disaster. Law enforcement officers and volunteers are forced to patrol the territories and ensure the work of “Points of Invincibility,” while traffic controllers are on duty atshow more
