The morning attack by Russian troops on Mykolaiv on February 22 damaged energy infrastructure facilities. The occupiers used Shahed attack drones, which led to large-scale power outages in the city.
This was reported by the head of Mykolaiv regional military administration Vitaliy Kim.
According to preliminary data, about 16,000 customers were left without electricity. Work is currently underway to eliminate the consequences of the shelling and restore power. It is reported that there were no casualties. Experts are currently working to eliminate the consequences of the shelling and restore power.
It also became known that the energy sector of Kherson region will receive 1 million euros of financial assistance from the German region of Schleswig-Holstein. The grant funds will be used to technically strengthen the power system and eliminate the consequences of damage.
"This amount is twice as much as originally planned. After we spoke to the regional government, they decided to increase the assistance," said Oleksandr Prokudin, head of Kherson Regional State Administration.
In addition to financial assistance, the region expects to receive 13 armored vehicles for the evacuation of the wounded and emergency services (the first batch of three vehicles will arrive in February). The support program also includes the transfer of protective nets to counter drone attacks on civilian infrastructure. According to the head of the ODA, the aid package will include a resuscitation vehicle, ballistic equipment, generators, heat guns, and even a seed fund for the experimental agricultural sector.
