As a result of massive russian shelling of Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities on December 23, PJSC Zaporizhstal was completely powerless, which led to an emergency shutdown of production. This is stated in a message published on the company's website.
As reported, the company's team promptly switched to alternative power sources and further safely stopped production processes in accordance with the anti-crisis regulations.
"Thanks to the timely response and professional coordinated actions of the personnel, as well as the emergency measures taken to minimize emergency situations, we managed to avoid a man-made accident and reduce the level of emissions into the atmosphere. There is no threat to the life and health of employees and citizens," the company said in a statement.
It is noted that the enterprise has now implemented operational solutions to stabilize the internal energy system. Further resumption of production will be carried out after the restoration of external energy supply.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that on the night of December 23, the military of the aggressor country of russia launched more than 650 drones and more than three dozen missiles at Ukraine. At least 13 regions were hit. A significant part of the drones and missiles were shot down, but there were also hits.
