Russia wants to leave Ukrainians without light and heat: Yermak replied that it will happen in winter

Share: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation once again targeted the Ukrainian energy industry in the approach of frost. The head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak confirmed that there is an "inevitable risk of further strikes", but at the same time reassured that they are ready to help Ukraine get through this winter. Russia constantly tries to leave Ukrainians without heat and light in the autumn-winter season, and this year was no exception.

They are ready to help us get through this winter as much as possible," — assured the head of OP. He admitted that there is a threat of further shelling of Ukraine's energy sector. "As for risks, of course they exist. As long as this war continues, of course, the risk of further strikes is inevitable. We will continue to do what we have been doing: protect, restore, and develop," Yermak emphasized. He said that Zelensky spends a lot of time every day on the situation with the energy system.

The Prime Minister, the Minister of Energy and other members of the government go to the sites of enemy strikes. "They react immediately. And if the assigned tasks are not performed, or are performed, but with poor quality or on time, strict personnel and organizational measures are immediately taken," the politician added. We will remind, on October 22, from 16:00, the energy industry introduced hourly blackouts according to schedules throughout Ukraine.
