The Ukrainian State News Agency reported on the 17th local time that the Ukrainian Prime Minister Shimegar said at the government working meeting that the massive missile attack launched by the Russian army against Ukraine on the 14th had a devastating effect on the Ukrainian energy industry, with one thermal power plant in the east and eight thermal power plants in the west of Ukraine damaged, and three other substations damaged. He said that this led to an increase in the domestic power gap in Uzbekistan, forcing some regions to implement emergency power cuts every day since the 15th. At present, the Russian side has no response to this. (Outlook New Era)
