Russia's intensified attacks have damaged over 200 thermal power stations and more than 100 gas facilities, threatening Ukraine's energy supply as winter heating demand rises.

- Kharchenko said Ukraine will get through winter because it has sufficient natural gas in storage, but demand could rise if temperatures are colder and next year may be worse due to a cash crunch.
