The Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, condemned yesterdayโs large-scale attack on different areas of the country, which reportedly left hundreds of thousands of people without heat and electricity.
โChristmas is meant to be a day of peace and hope, and it is utterly reprehensible that it was shattered by devastating attacks on homes and energy infrastructure,โ he said. โThese attacks worsen the humanitarian situation for vulnerable people and communities struggling in cold winter temperatures.โ
It was the 13th large-scale attack on energy infrastructure in Ukraine since March.
The Kharkiv region was hardest hit, with as many as 500,000 people left without electricity, heating and hot water in Kharkiv City and two nearby communities, according to authorities. In the Ukraine-controlled part of the Donetsk region, a thermal power plant was damaged, while in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, power supplies were reportedly disrupted.
Following yesterdayโs large-scale attack and hostilities on 24 December, humanitarians in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, and in Kharkiv provided emergency assistance, complementing the efforts of first responders. This included repair materials, as well as first aid and psychological support.
