During a massive missile attack on Thursday, December 29, the Russian army failed to achieve its likely goals of shutting down the Ukrainian power grid.. Our power engineers immediately started repair work and have already been able to restore a fairly significant part of the generating capacity. This was announced by the head of the board of NPC "

" We can say for sure that the enemy failed to achieve the goals that, obviously, he set for himself - to extinguish our energy system. At the moment, a fairly significant part of the generating capacity in our energy system has been restored, but there is significant damage to the network and some power plants,"

According to Kudritsky, such damage is due to the fact that the Russian troops carried out not only a missile attack in the morning, but also launched kamikaze drones across Ukraine at night and during the day, fired at several regions from the S-300 systems, in particular Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions..

" But the global goal was not achieved. The system is working,” said the head of Ukrenergo..

He added that currently in Ukraine there are difficulties with the supply of electricity in Kharkov, Kyiv, Odessa, Lvov, Nikolaev and Kherson regions..

Kudritsky pointed out that enemy shelling became the cause of problems in the network, but did not specify which ones - committed by the Russians on December 29 or earlier..

" I hope that in the near future we will be able to significantly improve the situation in these regions,"

Earlier, Yasno CEO Sergey Kovalenko said that in the coming days, the situation in the energy system of Kyiv could return to the level observed before the massive shelling of Ukraine by the Russians on December 29..
