Halushchenko said the Russians precisely targeted the energy sector. Earlier, Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national transmission systems operator, urgently implemented emergency power outages.

Background:

• Ukrenergo has issued a directive to implement emergency power outages. 
• In some areas of Kyiv, there have been power supply disruptions, which city authorities attribute to the situation in the national energy grid. 
• Due to the challenging conditions in the energy system, invincibility centres will be set up across Kyiv [heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts – ed.].
