- Overnight, Russia attacked Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Cherkasy, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. As a result of the attacks, more than 180,000 consumers were left without electricity. Most of them have already been reconnected thanks to the round-the-clock work of energy workers.

- Due to previous massive attacks, more than 12,000 consumers in Odesa region currently remain without power. Emergency restoration works in the region continue around the clock.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has allocated an additional EUR 10 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, marking its third financial contribution toward the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

“Luxembourg’s support is a significant contribution to strengthening the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system amid ongoing enemy shelling. This assistance enables the rapid restoration of damaged facilities and helps ensure a stable electricity supply for consumers,” said Roman Andarak, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine.

- The situation in Ukraine’s energy system remains challenging due to Russia’s ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure facilities. Overnight, the enemy attacked Dnipropetrovsk region. All consumers have been supplied with electricity.

As of December 15, the situation in Ukraine’s energy system remains challenging but under control, Anatolii Zamulko, Acting Head of the State Nuclear and Energy Supervision Service (Derzhenerhonhlad), reported during the “United News” National Marathon broadcast.

“The overall condition of the energy system remains tense. The massive attacks that took place on Saturday and continue daily reduce the reliability of electricity supply to consumers,” he noted.

Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Anatoliy Korzun took part in events marking the Day of Honoring the Participants in the Liquidation of the Consequences of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant Accident.

The situation in Ukraine’s power system remains difficult but under control. Russia continues to carry out daily attacks on electricity generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, primarily in border and frontline regions.

Over the weekend, Odesa region was hit by one of the most massive attacks. The enemy deliberately targeted electricity distribution and transmission facilities, including substations of NPC Ukrenergo. As a result, consumers in Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions were temporarily left without power supply.
