The strike on an energy facility in the Odesa region did not affect the operation of the Ukrainian energy system. It is functioning steadily, according to the CEO of Ukraine's National Power Company "Ukrenergo," Volodymyr Kudrytskyi.
He reminded that Ukrainians must maintain information silence. Therefore, Kudrytskyi did not specify which specific object was damaged. According to him, it is an object of regional significance.
"I can say that it is an object of regional significance. Today's attack will obviously not affect the stability of the power system," he said.
Kudrytskyi emphasized that based on the experience of last year, it can be concluded that the occupiers are trying to attack energy facilities near large cities. Therefore, energy experts are paying increased attention to the infrastructure located in such regions.
