Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a statement regarding the overall situation in Ukraine and the coordination meeting held on energy infrastructure.

Providing information on the current state of the system, Zelensky said: “As of today, Ukrainian energy workers and repair teams have fully restored the energy system to its condition prior to Saturday’s technical failure. The system is operating in a stable manner. However, considering the extreme cold and the impact of Russian attacks, all challenges remain serious.”

Referring to the areas targeted by Russia, Zelensky said: “Over the past 24 hours, there have been new Russian attacks on energy facilities in frontline and border regions. The Russian army continues to focus on terror against our logistics infrastructure, especially railway infrastructure. In particular, there were attacks targeting railway facilities in the Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia regions.”

Sharing his instructions regarding heating and communication lines, Zelensky concluded: “In Kyiv, more than 200 buildings are still without heating, mostly due to accidents. All aid and heating points across Ukraine must be fully prepared throughout the entire cold wave. In addition, all base stations have been instructed to be checked; communications must be stable. In Kropyvnytskyi, Poltava, Dnipro, Cherkasy regions and in border settlements, the situation regarding power outages remains challenging.”
