Due to Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, the system lost a significant amount of electricity production, but despite the attacks, the system has held up and is operating steadily.

Massive Russian attacks have resumed, so Ukrainians need to be prepared for any scenario, including possible spring and summer power outages, Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said.
