Due to the attack, emergency power outages have been introduced in a number of regions of Ukraine; they will be canceled when the situation in the energy system is stabilized, the statement said. Grinchuk thanked the energy workers and rescuers for their work and called on citizens to remain calm.
“Despite the enemy’s plans, Ukraine will have light and warmth this winter,” she added.
The Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces informed at night that the Russian Federation was attacking Ukraine with Kinzhal ballistic missiles; high-speed targets were moving, in particular, in the direction of Kyiv, Kremenchug and Mirgorod in the Poltava region, Zhytomyr region and Dnieper.
Context
According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the occupiers want to destroy the infrastructure of Ukraine (in particular, deprive them of heat and electricity) so that the population leaves the territory. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that the goal of the illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin is to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine in the winter.
The Ukrainian authorities understand that the winter will be difficult and are preparing, in particular, for gas imports, Zelensky noted. “What will happen to electricity? Today it’s difficult for me to say,” the president noted on October 6.
