Power engineers and emergency teams have restored power supply in most of the cities and villages de-energized after Russian missile attacks on critical infrastructure on October 10, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has reported on Telegram.
“For the second day in a row, the terrorist state continues its massive attack on energy infrastructure facilities. On October 10, 3,900 populated areas: cities, villages and towns were cut off due to missile strikes. Now, energy workers and emergency teams have managed to restore power supplies in most regions. Light is back in 3,800 settlements,” Shmyhal noted.
He added that power supply in the western regions of Ukraine had been stabilized and in Kharkiv region it was almost completely restored. Restoration works are ongoing to ensure power supply to the central regions and the city of Kyiv. The works are to be completed within a few days.
“But Russia does not stop in its attempts to destroy our energy infrastructure. According to the State Emergency Service, 33 strikes were recorded on October 11. The enemy continues to spend dozens of missiles costing hundreds of millions of dollars only to leave Ukrainians without electricity for a day or two,” added Shmyhal.
