Russians may cause significant damage to Ukraine’s power systems on New Year’s holidays – minister

This was announced by Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko, who spoke on national television.

“The Russians have not given up on attacking the power system. They are sticking to certain dates. And maybe the New Year is one of those dates when they will try to damage our power system as much as possible,” he said.

At the same time, Galushchenko emphasized that it is difficult to assess the scale of possible shelling or damage. However, he noted his hopes rest with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which, as shown by recent shelling, protect the sky over Ukraine quite effectively.

Meanwhile, the minister noted that Ukrainians can count on several days of uninterrupted energy supply on the occasion of the New Year holidays if no new massive strikes occur. According to the official, every day the situation in the energy sector is improving: it is possible to increase generation and deliver electricity to consumers.

“The entire energy industry today works 24/7. And the results of their work can be seen every hour,” the minister said.

As reported, Minister of Energy German Galushchenko congratulated and thanked energy engineers who are constantly restoring and repairing the grid damaged in Russian strikes, to bring back light and heating to Ukrainian homes.
