Under the chairmanship of First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, a regular meeting of the Headquarters for Eliminating the Consequences of Emergencies in Kyiv and the Region was held.
According to Denys Shmyhal, restoration work continued throughout the day on energy facilities affected by last night’s massive missile strike, including sites in Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
“The electricity situation remains challenging. In most areas, power is available for 3–4 hours after 7–8 hours of outages, while in more difficult cases – only 2–3 hours. In Kyiv alone, 62 crews worked on restoring electricity today,” the Minister said.
The First Deputy Prime Minister instructed all services to accelerate repair work, given the forecast of returning severe frosts next week, and emphasized the need to prepare in advance for the next heating season.
Regarding humanitarian aid from international partners, Shmyhal reported that over the past day, more than 13 tons of energy equipment were dispatched from Ministry of Energy hubs, including generators, power transformers, hydraulic units, and circuit breakers.
“Ukraine received humanitarian aid from Moldova to support the energy sector. The shipment included automatic circuit breakers, transformers, etc. Additionally, 46 generators from Lithuania for the Ministry of Defense and 500 generators from the EU for Kyiv were delivered. Agreements were reached for 22 generators from Switzerland and 9 from Sweden. In transit: 3 generators from Lithuania and 5 from Austria. Overall, over the past weeks, more than 714 tons of various equipment have arrived at Ministry of Energy hub warehouses,” emphasized Denys Shmyhal.
