It will take about half a year to restore Ukraine's damaged energy infrastructure, according to head of the Committee on Energy and Housing, Andrii Herus

The official noted that in order to restore the operation of the energy system, Ukraine purchases new equipment and receives free assistance from Western partners.

“The equipment from the warehouses of our European partners is already on its way to Ukraine. However, during this winter it is impossible to restore all the damaged facilities of the energy infrastructure. The Ukrainian energy system is under constant Russian fire. Europe does not have the amount of equipment that Ukraine needs, and it will take at least 6 months to manufacture it,” Herus said.

According to him, Ukraine is currently repairing facilities on its own, and is compensating for the shortage of electricity with regular outages.
