"According to preliminary estimates, the damage check that will be presented to the enemy for the latest attacks reaches at least €90-100 million, if we talk only about Ukrenergo's high-voltage equipment," the message says.
According to him, "the company was ready for possible attacks on the power system - a warehouse of necessary equipment and materials was formed, the staff underwent the necessary training".

At the same time, Kudrytskyi said, more serious consequences were avoided, among other things, thanks to engineering fortifications at energy facilities, which are being built together with regional military administrations and the State Agency for Infrastructure Recovery and Development.
