“Work to repair the damage from Russian attacks continues around the clock,” Shmyhal said in a Telegram post.
“Thanks to repair crews and warming weather, we are seeing an improvement in power supply. At the same time, we have information that the enemy is preparing new strikes on the energy sector.”
Shmyhal said more than 200 crews are working in Kyiv to restore heat and power. The meeting focused particularly on Odesa and other frontline regions, where power supply problems are currently most severe.
He said work with international partners to secure needed
equipment continues daily. After a visit by the energy ministry team to France,
Ukraine secured commitments to mobilize EUR600 million ($707 million) to
strengthen the country’s energy resilience. Shmyhal added that Ukrainian
engineers and technical specialists have been dispatched to Europe to inspect
six power stations whose equipment could be shipped to Ukraine quickly.
