In order to restore the energy system of Ukraine, which was damaged as a result of Russian shelling, several hundred million dollars are needed, the country's infrastructure minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said, without giving an exact figure.

In an interview with the Financial Times, he said that the funds should be allocated in addition to those already spent from the budget. The country does not have enough transformer blocks to replace those used since the times of the USSR. The authorities are going to buy the missing blocks from Poland and Lithuania and set up their own production. The release of such equipment will take 4-8 months.

11 Ukrainian regions were left without electricity on November 23 after targeted attacks by Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. There were problems with water supply in 15 regions. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged citizens to leave city apartments and go to country houses. Cell towers were switched to work from generators, operators of working towers remained overloaded.
