"We continue to work on overcoming the consequences of enemy attacks on the energy system. This week there was not a single day without shelling of energy facilities and critical infrastructure. In total, 44 attacks were recorded," Svyrydenko said.
According to her, the enemy launched the main strikes on Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Chernihiv, Kyiv, including Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.
"In Kyiv, the Russians carried out one of the largest attacks on energy infrastructure since the beginning of the full-scale war. The enemy deliberately hit with ballistic missiles, including heat-generating facilities," Svyrydenko said.
According to her, the situation was further complicated by difficult weather conditions and a significant drop in temperature.
"Every day we receive reports from energy workers, the State Emergency Service and military administrations. I personally control the progress of restoration work. We understand that the lack of light and heat is a difficult test, especially in the cold. Therefore, our key task is to restore basic living conditions to people as soon as possible. Despite all the challenges, Ukrainian energy workers are working in extremely difficult conditions and are doing their best," the Prime Minister noted.
According to her, "this week alone, electricity supply has been restored to almost 700,000 consumers across the country."

At the same time, due to objective reasons, planned and emergency shutdown schedules are currently in effect.
