- The Director General of the IAEA confirmed the damage to 4 key substations supplying Ukrainian nuclear power plants during Russian attacks, highlighting the risks faced by Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
- Efforts are being made by energy workers to quickly repair the damaged equipment and restore normal operations, as the impact of the attacks on Ukrainian nuclear power plants becomes evident.
- The incidents on November 16-17 revealed the vulnerabilities of Ukraine's energy infrastructure following massive attacks by the Russian occupation army, emphasizing the critical need for repair and reinforcement.
How will the lights be turned off on Saturday, November 23
On Saturday, as noted in Ukrenergo, one round of blackouts will be applied from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
