Ukraine Ready to Share Expertise With EU Partners After Widespread Blackouts

Ukraine has offered to assist European partners in restoring stable power supply following widespread blackouts across the region, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko announced on April 28.

“We are ready to share the knowledge and experience we have gained, particularly during the systematic Russian attacks on our energy infrastructure,” Halushchenko said.

Halushchenko expressed gratitude to European Union countries for their continued support and emphasized that Ukraine “is always ready to provide assistance.”

The outages affected Spain, Portugal, as well as parts of France and Andorra, leading to disruptions in public transport, airports, traffic lights, and hospitals. Mobile communications were also partially affected.

Since the onset of its full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has systematically targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to widespread power outages and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
