“This is very important for the stable performance of our power system” To repair damaged infrastructure, he said, since Monday, Ukraine has been the target of several Russian attacks on energy facilities, in response to the partial destruction of the Crimean bridge.

“But we are united and we will stand firm,” the minister emphasized, stressing that Ukrainians had already reduced electricity consumption by 10% on Sunday, responding to the same appeal by the authorities.
