Energy facilities in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Odesa region are hit, Ukraine's energy system is functioning

“Terrorist country Russia tried to implement its criminal plan again - to plunge Ukraine into darkness and cold. Thanks to the heroic Ukraine's Armed Forces and Air Defense Forces, the enemy has once again failed in its plan. The country's energy system is functioning and remains intact,” he wrote on Telegram.

The head of Ukraine’s government said that missiles had hit energy infrastructure facilities in three regions.

“Energy facilities were hit in the Kyiv, Vinnytsia, and Odesa regions. In some regions, emergency shutdowns were forced to be applied to balance the system and avoid accidents. Rescuers are already working to eliminate the consequences of the attack in order to restore light to every home,” Shmyhal noted.

He recalled that Russia fired at Ukraine on the anniversary of the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, which demonstrated how 'reliable' it is as a guarantor of security.

• An energy facility in Kryvyi Rih was hit,  and power was cut off in part of the city.
