"It is not September 21": Shmigal said when Russia started a new stage of energy terror

According to Prime Minister Denis Shmigal, Ukraine is much more prepared and stronger than last year. But winter will still be difficult. Russia aims to inflict regular attacks on Ukraine's power systems. However, energy terror began not on September 21, but two weeks ago. This was stated by Prime Minister Denis Shmigal at the Regional Economic Forum, Ukrinform reports. "We understand that the stage of energy terror in this heating season has already begun.

We see it by destroying infrastructure, production, pumping, storage of fuel. We see it by the first blows in regional energy substations in the last two weeks," he said. According to the prime minister, Ukraine has not felt it yet, since in the current heating season it is better prepared for a possible new stage of energy pressure from Russia.

He predicts that such attacks will continue, but the protection system, including active measures, such as air defense, and passive measures, such as special structures, continues to function and strengthen. "We are much more prepared and stronger than they were last year. Therefore, I am convinced that we will go through this difficult winter together . . .

It will be difficult for winter, definitely not easier, but we are definitely ready for it because we understand what we are preparing for The enemy and the threats and challenges of us all stand, "the Prime Minister said. On Thursday, September 21, Russian invaders carried out rocket firing of Kyiv and Kyiv region. The attack was damaged by the power grid. Many residents were left without electricity.
