This attack became the eighth large-scale attack on energy facilities in Ukraine since October. In this regard, there are emergency power outages in many regions.

As a result of numerous attacks, there is a significant shortage of electricity in Kyiv. Only 30% of the needs are supplied with electricity in the capital.
