Some settlements, including the town of Burshtyn and the village of Demianiv in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, will temporarily have no heat or hot water supply due to the Russian attack, according to DTEK Burshtyn TPP.

This happened as a result of Russian massive missile attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure on the morning of December 13.

Power engineers report that work is underway to eliminate the consequences of the Russian attacks.

Specialists are making every effort to restore a stable supply of heat and water.

DTEK Burshtyn TPP thanked the citizens for their patience and understanding of the situation.

Russian missile attack on Ukraine on December 13

On the morning of December 13, the Russian occupiers launched another massive attack on Ukraine.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine noted that the target of the Russian missile attack was Ukraine's energy facilities.

As the effects of the Russian shelling on the Ukrainian energy sector are currently being felt in various regions of Ukraine, Ukrenergo reported an increase in blackout schedules.

Svitlana Onyshchuk, head of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Military Administration, said that the Ivano-Frankivsk region has suffered the most massive Russian attack since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia launched 93 missiles and almost 200 drones at Ukraine today. He called on Western partners to provide air defense equipment.

Also, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that the West urgently needs to supply at least 20 air defense systems to Ukraine, as Russian attacks on the country's energy sector have intensified.
