"More than 1,000 missiles and drones have hit our substations since the beginning of the full-scale war. All thermal, hydroelectric power plants and key substations that transmit energy from generation to consumers have been under fire. Some substations have been attacked by the enemy up to eight times," Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Friday.
