Russian terrorists once again attacked the Ukrainian energy sector. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko, Chairman of the Boards of Ukrenergo and Naftogaz Volodymyr Kudrytskyi and Oleksiy Chernyshov reported on the damage and restoration work. They discussed the most effective methods of physical protection and their implementation at other facilities.

That night, the Kanivska and Dnistrovska HPPs became the conscious targets of the enemy. The terrorist country wants a repeat of the ecological disaster in the Kherson region. But now not only Ukraine is under threat, but also Moldova. The water will not stop in front of the border pillars, just as the Russian war will not stop, if it is not stopped together and in time in Ukraine.”

Details: According to Zelenskyi, another issue that was considered at the meeting was contracts for the supply of weapons and ammunition for the near future and for the future.

The need for air defense came to the fore. Due to the intensity of the Russian shelling, it is necessary to replenish supplies more quickly. The head of state says that he has instructed to strengthen the work with partners, and expects their quick reaction.
