Ukraine was forced to cut off electricity supplies to Europe to stabilize its own energy system.
Due to a massive Russian missile attack on critical infrastructure, Ukraine has suspended electricity exports to Europe, the Ministry of Energy reported on Monday, December 10.
“Ukraine’s electricity, which we exported after synchronization with the EU, as well as separate lines in Moldova and Poland, helped Europe replace Russian gas and maintained the stability of the European energy system. Russia’s occupation, Ukraine has fulfilled its obligations to its European partners in exporting electricity, but today’s rocket attacks, which hit thermal generation and electrical substations, are forcing the Ukraine to stop exporting electricity from October 11, 2022 to stabilize its own energy system,” the report said.
Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko believes that the export of electricity from Ukraine to Europe was the cause of the missile attacks, as it helped the EU to reduce the consumption of Russian energy resources. “And that’s why Russia is destroying our energy system, killing the very possibility of exporting electricity from Ukraine,” he said.
Recall that to strike the critical infrastructure of Ukraine, Russia used 84 cruise missiles and 24 drones, the Ukrainian air defense shot down 56 targets.
In most regions, power supply is promised to be restored today.
