Earlier, on December 13, Ukraine requested electricity imports from five neighboring countries after a massive Russian strike on the energy infrastructure. It was reported at the time that the imports would be 13.4 thousand MWh, with a maximum capacity in some hours of up to 1.09 thousand MW.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the same day that the large-scale strike on Ukrainian energy facilities was, among other things, a response to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strike on Taganrog with ATACMS missiles.

The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the aggravated situation in the region.
