“In addition, it is not possible to use New Year’s illuminations on houses, in parks, squares, on trees, bushes, other structures, regardless of the organizational and legal form (except for illuminations that work from sources of alternative electricity supply),” he said about the decision, which was adopted at a meeting of the Defense Council.

The situation in the Ukrainian energy industry

As reported, at the beginning of October, Russia began to launch massive missile attacks on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, in particular, the energy sector.

The last attack was carried out on November 23. The rockets hit a number of energy facilities, causing a blackout. Only by the end of last week, the power industry managed to stabilize the operation of the Ukrainian power system, but the capacity deficit remains.

Earlier, before this shelling, the head of the government, Denys Shmyhal, reported that the previous missile strikes had disabled almost 50% of Ukraine’s energy system.
