About 30% of Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure Has Been Hit by Russian Missiles since Monday

Around 30% of energy infrastructure in Ukraine has been hit by Russian missiles since Monday, Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said Tuesday, October 11th, in his interview for CNN.

"This was the first time from the beginning of the war that Russia has dramatically targeted energy infrastructure", Herman Halushchenko noted.

He said one reason is because Ukrainian electricity exports to Europe “helps European countries to save on Russian gas and coal,” adding that Ukraine is trying “to reconnect quickly from the other sources.” 

On Monday, the Ukrainian government urged people across the country to “limit” their energy use.  Asked whether Ukraine would receive extra energy from Europe, Halushchenko said that was “one of the options on the table”.

The minister said that the Ukrainian energy system “is still stable,” but called on partners to provide “air protection systems which really could help us to protect our infrastructure.” 

" We send this message to our partners: we need to protect the sky,” he said. “Russians they are not playing on some games on international laws. They don’t care about any kind of international agreements or conventions ", he added.

Meanwhile, on October 11th, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed attack against Ukrainian military and energy facilities.
