Quote: "Since last Monday, 10 October until today there have been almost 300 attacks in total on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure using missiles, artillery and drones. Certainly, preparations have been made – what to do if there is critical damage to energy infrastructure. Such damage will require longer to repair than we are doing now.

In this case, a whole mechanism will be formed involving almost all governmental bodies and all military administrations, with citizens being instructed on what to do in this or that situation.

For instance: where there is electricity and mobile connection, where people can charge their phones, when communications will be cut off, etc.".

Details: Halushchenko reminded the public that saving energy is critically important right now. He said that within the first few days of the large-scale attacks, Ukrainians managed to reduce energy consumption by 10%. Meanwhile, Halushchenko remarked that it is recommended that this percentage be increased to at least 20%.

If the desired results are not achieved, the authorities will have to resort to rolling blackouts.
