Quote: "Again, there are emergency shutdowns in addition to planned, stabilisation ones. Currently, more than 10 million Ukrainians are without electricity. 

Most of them are in Vinnytsia, Odesa and  Sumy oblasts and the city of Kyiv. We are doing everything to normalise the supply."

Background: 

• On 15 November, Russia delivered the largest missile strike on Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022: despite successful work of air defence units, missiles hit the city of Kyiv, as well as Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, Volyn, Lviv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Poltava and Kharkiv oblasts.
• Missiles were launched primarily on energy infrastructure. Due to these attacks, all regions of Ukraine suffered power outages.
• In Lviv Oblast, missiles hit three critical infrastructure facilities; 700,000 people were left without electricity.
