The energy situation in Ukraine remains challenging, but efforts by energy workers have helped reduce the extent of power outages. This was stated by Ukrainian Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk at a recent press conference, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
Hrynchuk acknowledged a continuing deficit in the energy system. However, she highlighted that equipment which could be quickly restored has been repaired, contributing to the reduction in power outage volumes.
"We are working to minimize the outage schedules. But the situation continues to be difficult. Practically every week we experience a massive combined attack."
Ukraine has developed response plans for various emergencies within the energy sector. Despite this, forecasting remains nearly impossible due to the unpredictability of attacks.
"Right now, it is very difficult to make forecasts. We do not know what will be damaged next time or where the enemy's attack will be directed."
Summary: Despite ongoing attacks and energy deficits, Ukrainian energy workers have made progress in restoring power and preparing for future challenges amid continued uncertainty.
