President Volodymyr Zelensky declared a state of emergency in Ukraine’s energy sector on Wednesday – prompting a review of Ukraine’s regional curfew rules and the establishment of an energy headquarters in Kyiv among other special measures.
In recent weeks, Russian missile attacks have created disasters verging on a humanitarian crisis by targeting energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Early Tuesday, a massive overnight Russian drone attack on Kryvyi Rih knocked out heat to more than 700 apartment buildings as temperatures dropped to –7°C (+19°F).
Writing on Telegram, Zelensky announced plans to combat the “severe” consequences of Russian strikes on energy infrastructure and worsening weather conditions in three main areas.
Firstly, he said, a special headquarters will be established in Kyiv to coordinate a full-time response to the energy crisis.
