"The damage is significant, but we are working overtime to restore power to hospitals, boiler rooms, and kindergartens so that all our customers have power. Our work has become very complicated because our main job was more like preventive maintenance of the equipment, in some rare cases it is maintenance, and now it is a complete restoration."

STORYLINE:
Workers of Ukraine’s largest private energy company DTEK tried to repair an electric substation on Tuesday that was recently attacked by Russian Shahed drones.
Energy workers said that the electric substation was destroyed after the last Russian Shahed drones attack on their region.
"The damage is significant, but we are working overtime to restore power to hospitals, boiler rooms, and kindergartens so that all our customers have power," said one of the engineers of DTEK Evhen.
DTEK power plants were attacked by Russia 248 times since the start of full-scale invasion in February 2022, other energy objects were attacked more than 12-thousands times.
A series of separate meetings between American, Russian and Ukrainian interlocutors entered their third day on Tuesday as U.S. negotiators shuttled back to discussions with their Ukrainian counterparts in the Saudi capital, a continuation of talks with Kyiv officials that began Sunday over a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
The White House has said a partial ceasefire would include ending attacks on “energy and infrastructure,” while the Kremlin declared that the agreement referred more narrowly to “energy infrastructure” — attempts to secure safe commercial shipping in the Black Sea appeared to garner support in principle from both parties, though no specific agreements have been announced.
