Ukraine Energy Minister Says 30 Percent Of Energy Infrastructure Hit By Russia In Two Days Of Missile Attacks

 

CNN: Energy minister: 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. 

The minister told CNN that this was the “first time from the beginning of the war” that Russia has “dramatically targeted” energy infrastructure. 

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.”
