Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko announced this on his Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"The Russians continue terrorism. Use aviation and a huge number of missiles on critical infrastructure to destroy the country's energy supply! It is already definitely clear that a considerable part of the missiles hit the power systems of various cities," he wrote.

The deputy head of the President’s Office noted that energy facilities of the Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Kyiv Region, Khmelnytskyi Region, Ivano-Frankivsk Region, Sumy Region, Kharkiv Region, Zhytomyr Region, Kirovohrad Region and the whole south were hit.

"This can affect the stability of energy supply, so you need to be prepared for the consequences of such shelling up to rolling shutdowns. For example, only in the Kyiv Region, the air defense shot down six missiles, but there is a hit in the CHPP," Tymoshenko said.
