Russians shell minivan as rescue workers deliver aid to Bakhmut.

Today the Russians launched an attack on rescue workers who were delivering humanitarian aid to civilians who remain in the war-torn city of Bakhmut.

Luckily, no one was injured in the artillery attack, but a service vehicle from the 47th State Emergency Unit was damaged: the windscreen was cracked, the rear window shattered, and the rear bumper and rear part of the vehicle were slashed.

ll thermal and hydroelectric power plants have been damaged, and 40% of the high-voltage networks have sustained various levels of damage due to the large-scale missile attacks by the Russians in Ukraine.

Denys Shmyhal, Prime Minister of Ukraine informed that there is a significant electricity deficit in Ukraine's energy system. All thermal and hydroelectric power stations have been damaged; 40% of the high-voltage networks have sustained various levels of damage after eight waves of missile attacks in the country.

Shmyhal also added that the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine was instructed to define and submit for consideration clear priorities for providing electricity supply.

Russian invaders destroy power engineers’ company vehicles in Kherson.

Russian forces hit a critical infrastructure facility and destroyed vehicles belonging to power engineers on the night of 11 December.

The attack had destroyed three company vehicles belonging to power engineers, damaged a large shed and five other pieces of equipment.

The energy front is perhaps the most important at the moment. Power engineers are working tirelessly day and night to restore the system after the Russian attacks, at a time when millions of Ukrainians are cut off from electricity, water and heat.

Strikes on such facilities impede the restoration of power.
