The number of people without electricity in the Odessa region dropped from 1.5 million on Saturday to 300 thousand on Sunday.
Trukhanov said his administration was restarting pumping stations and delivering water by truck to areas where water shortages persist. As for electricity and heating, according to the official, 43 out of 140 boilers are still not working.
On the night of Friday to Saturday, Russian troops fired drones in areas of southern Ukraine, including the Odessa region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that the damage was caused by Iranian-made drones.
After eight waves of Russian missile attacks in Ukraine, all thermal and hydroelectric plants were damaged, and 40% of the high-voltage grid installations were also damaged. Thus, a significant capacity deficit remains in the Ukrainian energy system, said Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal, according to Unian.net.
Since early October, Russia has carried out eight waves of massive missile strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure. According to the company "Ukrenergo", in two months, Russia launched more than 1,000 heavy missiles and drones on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
