Rockets and drones, launched by Russians on Monday, struck 10 oblasts and damaged 18 targets, most of which are energy facilities.
As reported by Denys Shmyhal, the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
Hundreds of settlements in seven oblasts of Ukraine were blacked out as a result of the attack.
"The consequences could have been much worse. But thanks to the heroic and professional work of the Air Defence Forces, 44 of the more than 50 missiles fired at our territory were shot down. Thank you to the fighters who protect our skies," the Prime Minister said.
Shmyhal thanked the energy workers who are seeing to the aftermath of the Russian attacks and emphasised that repair crews are working at full capacity.
Currently, local emergency shutdowns continue in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv oblasts. As the Prime Minister emphasised, it is important that all Ukrainians reduce the load on the power network and save electricity.
