Since the beginning of autumn, Russia has significantly intensified attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which has led to a critical situation in the country’s energy system. This has forced the introduction of hourly power outages.<\/p>\n
On the air of a national telethon, Vitaliy Zaychenko, head of Ukrenergo, noted that the most challenging situation with energy supply is currently observed in border and frontline regions, in particular in the Odessa region.<\/p>\n
He named Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia regions among the most problematic areas. The situation is also tricky in the Odessa region.<\/p>\n
“Speaking of all border regions, it is worth mentioning Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia. Unfortunately, the Odesa region, although not a frontline region, also often suffers from massive drone attacks on substations of distribution system operators,” Zaychenko added.<\/p>\n
These regions require special efforts to stabilize the energy supply. He noted that distribution system operators are doing everything possible to provide electricity to consumers.<\/p>\n
Earlier, it was reported that Russia plans to produce up to 30 drones per target, while simultaneously producing tens of thousands of “Shaheeds” and aerial bombs for attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
In addition, Ukraine is preparing for a severe winter amid serious problems with electricity supply and the possibility of outages lasting more than 8 hours a day.<\/p>\n
They also informed Ukrainians about new rules for receiving subsidies, which set strict deadlines; otherwise, the assistance will be lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
