Dec 7 (Reuters) – Russian forces have fired more than
1,000 rockets and missiles at Ukraine’s power grid, which is
still working despite taking major damage, Interfax Ukraine news
agency cited a senior official as saying on Wednesday.
Volodymyr Kudrytsky, chief executive of the Ukrenergo grid
operator, also told a meeting arranged by the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) that his officials were
scouring the world for the complex equipment needed for repairs.
Eight recent waves of Russian air strikes on critical
infrastructure have seriously damaged the grid and led to
emergency and planned outages across the country.
“These attacks represent the biggest blow to a power grid
that humanity has ever seen. More than 1,000 shells and rockets
were fired at electrical facilities and lines, including
substations,” Interfax Ukraine cited Kudrytsky as saying.
