As the head of government emphasised, Ukraine needs more air defence systems right now to protect not only critical infrastructure but also Ukrainian civilians who suffer and die from Russian attacks.
In addition, it emphasised that the enemy attacked thermal generation facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Russian invaders hit an energy facility in the Ivano-Frankivsk region — there is damage to the equipment.
As a result of Russian attacks on generation facilities in Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy and Kirovohrad regions, damage to equipment was also recorded.
Substations and, as a result, consumers were de-energised (the railway without disruptions in the movement of trains, objects of the communal sphere, local industry, the population)," the Ministry of Energy said.
