Energy workers will do everything possible to ensure that the capital and the Kyiv region have light on New Year’s Day.
In Kyiv and the Kyiv region, the emergency blackouts introduced against the background of today’s Russian missile attacks are being canceled, the DPEK company reported on Telegram.
“Kyiv and the Kyiv region: emergency shutdowns are canceled! Let’s return to our morning wishes for the holidays. Energy workers will do everything possible to ensure that the capital and the Kyiv region will have light on New Year’s, if there are no enemy attacks,” the message reads.
As reported, emergency power outages were applied today in Kyiv and Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. This was a preemptive step to avoid significant damage to the energy infrastructure.
The mass attack of Russia on December 31 is the occupiers’ terror for the holidays
On New Year’s Eve, Russian terrorists staged another air attack on Ukraine. Fortunately, air defense forces worked in all cities.
The Armed Forces intercepted 12 out of more than 20 cruise missiles, General Valery Zaluzhnyi reported. The Russian army launched missiles from Tu-95 strategic bombers from the Caspian Sea and land-based missile systems.
At the same time, some Russian rockets damaged residential buildings and infrastructure facilities in the capital and Mykolaiv. The exact number of dead and wounded is being established. So far, it is already known about dozens of victims.
In Kyiv, 30% of consumers are without electricity due to emergency shutdowns.
The day before, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi repeatedly emphasized that Russia is deliberately trying to plunge Ukrainians into darkness during the New Year holidays.
Russia also carried out massive strikes on December 29. However, thanks to the efforts of the Air Defense Forces, the occupiers did not manage to arrange a new long-term blackout for the Ukrainians.
