According to Timchenko, energy facilities such as power plants, as well as gas transportation and gas extraction infrastructure, have suffered significant damage. As a result of the attacks, DTEK has lost between 60 to 70 percent of its generating capacity, resulting in losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Kyiv and central regions of the country have been hit the hardest, he noted.
People receive electricity for only 3-4 hours a day, while for the rest of the time they are left without light for 10-15 hours. In some homes, there has been no heating for several weeks, the agency's source reports.
The situation is exacerbated by the cold: temperatures in Ukraine have fluctuated between -15 and -20 degrees over the past two weeks.
