Several Ukrainian officials have warned that the country will face a harsh winter but can withstand russian missile attacks on its infrastructure.
Details. Maksym Tymchenko, CEO of DTEK energy company, expressed confidence that “russians have no chance to plunge Ukraine into darkness”.
However, there were power shortages and electricity transmission problems, he said on Friday at the Kyiv Security Forum.
According to him, in the capital, the company was trying to introduce “rolling controlled blackouts: 3-4 hours of electricity supply, followed by 4 hours break. This situation will continue, we hope, until next week only, if there are no further attacks. But we are prepared for further attacks,” Mr. Tymchenko emphasised.
He pointed out that all six of DTEK's power stations had been attacked, some of them several times. As of Friday, he said, the company has managed to bring them all back to the grid.
