President Zelenskyy confirmed that despite Russia's attempts to disrupt the energy sector, Ukraine's cities, villages and industries remain powered this winter. He recognized the resilience of the energy system and thanked power engineers for their dedication.

The first month of winter is passing, and cities and villages, as well as industries, are supplied with energy - despite all the attempts by Russia to destroy the Ukrainian energy sector. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his speech to energy sector workers, according to a UNN correspondent.

The first month of winter has already passed, and our cities and villages, our industries are supplied with energy - despite all the attempts by Russia to destroy our energy. The stability of the system has been preserved. Over the year, a lot has been done to protect critical energy facilities across the country, even in the most difficult areas near the front line and in the border with Russia. To preserve the energy sector in such conditions, in such a confrontation, is truly a feat

- Zelensky said.

He thanked every team, every company, every employee of the Ukrainian energy industry for their excellent work for Ukraine.

Addendum

Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said that in case of severe frosts in Ukraine blackouts are not expected. Blackouts can be caused by shelling and natural disasters.
