First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal took part in the 6th Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen.

“Today, we spoke about resilience. Resilience is always built by people. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been attacking Ukraine’s energy system every day with guided aerial bombs, drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Yet the system is still alive and operational. This is thanks to our people who report for duty every day and continue doing their job,” Denys Shmyhal emphasized.

As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy infrastructure, some consumers in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Chernihiv and Sumy regions are temporarily without electricity.

Restoration works are underway wherever security conditions allow. Energy workers are making every effort to restore power to all affected consumers as quickly as possible.

No power supply restrictions are expected today. Any updates regarding electricity supply are available through the official resources of the respective distribution system operators.

Thirty-five years ago, Ukraine restored its independence. Today, we are defending it with arms in our hands.

Despite all attempts by the enemy to destroy our statehood, we continue to build a strong, free and self-reliant Ukraine. Because we know what we are fighting for: our home, the people around us, and our land. For the simple things that have become the most precious: silence instead of air raid sirens, embraces instead of farewells, and light instead of darkness.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal held a meeting with representatives of a Finnish business delegation comprising defence and technology companies.

The meeting focused on the protection of Ukraine’s energy facilities, including strengthening air defence capabilities and implementing new engineering solutions.

Today, the Ukrainian Flag is a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness.

When Russian aggression forced Ukrainian energy workers to leave our energy facilities, they evacuated the Ukrainian flags along with the equipment, preserving them until the day of return.

Our energy workers continue to work under shelling, restore destroyed facilities and bring electricity back to the people. The Ukrainian flag will certainly return to every temporarily occupied power plant.

Happy Day of the State Flag of Ukraine!

Thousands of veterans are currently employed by enterprises across Ukraine’s energy sector, while approximately 6,000 vacancies remain available. First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal stated this during his address at the 9th International Veterans Forum.
