As a result of the shelling: consequences for the energy infrastructure
The massive shelling by the Russian Federation has caused significant damage to the energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions, leading to the introduction of emergency measures in the areas. In Dnipro, all city hospitals have switched to generator power, and water supplies in hospitals have already been formed to ensure medical institutions. Due to the situation, holidays in general secondary education institutions have been extended until January 9 inclusive.
Ensuring the livelihoods of the population
To facilitate access to water in the city, about 130 technical water wells are operating, and 89 invincibility points have been deployed. These points meet the population's needs in the absence of electricity supply. As a result of the shelling, Zaporizhia and the region also experienced a blackout, leading to the opening of more than 160 invincibility points in Zaporizhia.
- The majority of consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions remain without electricity supply.
- Ukrainian Railways transferred all trains in the region to reserve thermal traction.
In the face of a difficult situation, local authorities and services continue to work to ensure the livelihoods of the population.
This situation highlights the vulnerability of the energy infrastructure in Ukraine, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict.
The measures taken, such as switching hospitals to generators and opening invincibility points, indicate the local authorities' attempts to adapt to new conditions and ensure the basic needs of the population. The extension of holidays in educational institutions is also a measure aimed at ensuring the safety of children and reducing the burden on the infrastructure amid the crisis.
