MOSCOW, November 24 – RIA Novosti. Dmitry Sakharuk, managing director of Ukrainian energy company DTEK, said electricity will be on for two to three hours in Kiev.

“We will gradually begin the transition until the amount of energy coming into Kiev increases, we will give light for two or three hours,” Sakharuk said in the broadcast of the Ukrainian newstele.

Sakharuk also confirmed the information of the city military administration of the Ukrainian capital, which they previously announced that 70% of the housing stock in Kiev was without electricity.

“About 30% of our population (electro – ed.) has food,” he said.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy reported on Wednesday that due to the Russian attacks, all nuclear and thermal power plants and most of the hydroelectric power plants were temporarily de-energized, leaving the vast majority of electricity consumers without electricity.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, on November 23, a major blow was dealt to Ukraine’s military command and control system and related energy facilities, all designated facilities were hit. The agency stressed that there was no attack on Kiev and that the destruction in the city was the result of the fall of air defense missiles deployed in the residential areas of the Ukrainian capital.

The attacks on the Ukrainian infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces began on October 10, two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, behind which, according to the Russian authorities, the Ukrainian special services stood. Attacks are made on energy, defense industry, military command and communication facilities. Since then, air raid warnings have been issued every day in parts of Ukraine, and sometimes throughout the country. After the November 15 strikes, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said that almost half of the country’s energy system has been shut down.
