First Deputy Minister of Energy Yuriy Sheiko has addressed concerns regarding the current state of the energy sector, stating that the electricity generation situation this summer is significantly better than in previous years. This development has alleviated fears of potential restrictions on electricity supply for both the general population and industrial operations.
However, Sheiko has also acknowledged that the threat of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure remains a critical issue that requires vigilance. The Ministry of Energy has issued warnings that the potential consequences of such attacks could still pose significant risks to national security and economic stability. While the energy sector is currently operating at a higher capacity, the government continues to monitor the situation closely.
In light of these ongoing threats, the Ministry of Energy is working to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to protect critical infrastructure. This includes both defensive measures and contingency planning to mitigate any potential impact of future attacks. Despite the improved situation, the government remains cautious and emphasizes the importance of preparedness.
