Quote: "Energy workers are doing everything possible to bring equipment damaged by the enemy back into operation. Repair work is ongoing both at power plants and at high-voltage substations that ensure the output from nuclear power plants."

Details: Nekrasov also said that as of 9 February, some consumers remain partly without power in Sumy, Dnipro and Kharkiv oblasts due to hostilities and attacks on energy infrastructure. Emergency repair work at energy facilities is ongoing.

Background:

On 7 February, Russia carried out its second large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy system since the beginning of the year, with energy facilities in eight oblasts coming under missile and drone strikes.
Ukraine's nuclear power plants were forced to reduce their generation capacity as a result of a large-scale Russian attack.
