Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy reported the information.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko noted that power engineers will start restoring the power line to ZNPP as soon as the security situation allows.

“Today, due to enemy shelling, Zaporizhzhya NPP remained on the same power line with the Ukrainian power grid. Power engineers will start restoring the power line to ZNPP as soon as the security situation allows. Safe operation of ZNPP is possible only under the control of Ukraine,” Halushchenko said.

The Ministry of Energy added that in November, due to Russian shelling, Zaporizhzhia NPP remained on the same power line three times.
