In the Cabinet of Ministers, they will tell if the tariffs will be raised after massive blows of the Russian Federation

According to the head of the Ministry of Energy, Herman Galushchenko, there was currently no full assessment of losses after missile attacks on energy infrastructure, so the government cannot name the final amount that is needed to restore objects. At the moment, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine does not plan to increase the cost of electricity for citizens. This was stated by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko on the broadcast of the telecommunication.

He stressed that in 2023, the growth of tariffs for light was caused by constant attacks by the invaders on energy infrastructure. "Without this decision, we would not restore our energy and would not have passed the winter as we went through it - calmly, stable and without shutdowns," Galushchenko said. According to him, it is too early to talk about raising. The head of the Ministry of Energy also noted that the extent of damage is currently unknown.

According to him, due to the lack of complete assessment of losses, as well as uncertainty in the necessary financial resources for recovery, there are currently no projects or previous work on changes in tariffs. It should be reminded that, according to the report in the UA War Infographics group of March 28, in the last two days the Russian military launched 208 missiles and unmanned apparatus on energy facilities in Ukraine.

It should be noted that on March 22, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducted a combined rocket strike in Ukraine, using 151 air attacks. The air defense systems were shot down 55 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 35 winged missiles of the X-101/X-555 and 2 controlled airlines X-59. The goals of the attacks included Ukrainian energy facilities. According to representatives of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers, it was the largest attack in the last few months.
