Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed that energy infrastructure was specifically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as "one of the largest strikes - a combined one," emphasising its impact on critical civilian infrastructure.

Minister of Energy German Galushchenko added, "The enemy is not giving up on its plans to deprive Ukrainians of electricity. Power engineers are already working to eliminate the consequences."

DTEK is fully mobilised to address this crisis. We are working around the clock to restore power to affected areas and mitigate the impact on Ukrainian citizens.

We urgently call upon Ukraine's allies to provide additional support to defend our energy system against this ongoing terror campaign. Partner's assistance is crucial in protecting Ukraine's critical infrastructure and civilian population.
