But, "we have managed to get through this day without any shutdown schedules."

The head of Ukrenergo emphasised that dispatchers had handled the situation, and repair crews had quickly restored important lines and did not cause discomfort to people on their day off.

Background: On the night of 24-25 November, the Russians launched a record number of attack UAVs at Ukraine – 75 Shahed kamikaze drones, 74 of which were shot down.’
