“Almost half of our energy system has been affected,” Schmihal told a news conference in Kyiv.

“Nearly half” of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure is “out of order” after a spate of Russian bombing since early October, he said today the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmihal.

“Almost half of our energy system has been affected,” Schmihal told a news conference in Kyiv with European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis. He therefore called for “additional support” from the EU to deal with this situation.

Yesterday, Thursday, a new barrage of Russian attacks hit the country’s energy infrastructure, while the Russian armed forces intensified their attacks in eastern Ukraine at a time when temperatures have dropped significantly in recent days and winter is making its presence felt. The Russian attacks that occurred at the beginning of the week left almost seven million homes without electricity, while several homes also experienced problems with their water supply.
