The occupiers have attacked the Ukrainian energy system again, and the Zaporizhzhia NPP was de-energized entirely.

After the nighttime shelling on May 22, complications resulted in the Ukrainian energy system, but it continues to work stably, the Ministry of Energy reports.

In the massive attack, two mines in the Donetsk region were cut off, and residents in four regions were left without electricity. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, 24 settlements were cut off. In the Zaporizhian area, 246,600 consumers remain without electricity. In the Donetsk region, 10 settlements have been cut off, and two mines are without a power supply. Finally, 24,500 consumers were cut off in the Kherson region.

In addition, because of the shelling, the last transmission line of the Zaporizhzhia NPP with the Ukrainian power system was damaged. This is the seventh blackout at the station since the beginning of the occupation.
