In recent months, Russia has stepped up its attacks against Ukraine's critical infrastructure in a new attack on the country's energy grid.
As a result of attacks on energy infrastructure, Ukraine began implementing blackouts on May 15.
Due to low energy reserves caused by Russian attacks, Ukraine's largest private energy supplier, DTEK, has warned that Ukrainians only have electricity for 6-7 hours a day next winter.
In a "worst-case" scenario where Ukraine cannot repair damaged power facilities and prevent future attacks, Ukrainians could experience up to 20 hours of power outages a day, DTEK's executive director said.
