Ukraine suspends electricity export
Ukraine stops exporting electricity due to russian missile attacks on energy facilities.
The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine states this.
"russia continues to carry out energy terror against Ukraine and also increases energy pressure on the European Union.
Ukrainian electricity, which we exported after synchronization to the EU and via separate lines to Moldova and Poland, helped Europe replace russian gas and supported the stability of the European energy system.
Even after the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has been under russian occupation for more than 7 months, was shut down, Ukraine fulfilled its obligations to European partners for electricity export.
But today's missile attacks, which hit the thermal generation and electrical substations, force Ukraine to suspend electricity exports from October 11, 2022, to stabilize its own energy system," the Ministry of Energy explained.
"It was the export of electricity from Ukraine that helped Europe reduce the consumption of russian energy resources. And that is why russia is destroying our energy system, killing the very possibility of exporting electricity from Ukraine," Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko said.
We will remind you that russia launched 84 missiles and 24 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Ukraine this morning.
