Russian attacks have damaged half of Ukraine's energy system, Ukraine's foreign minister has said.
In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine, Dmytro Kuleba, said ballistic missiles launched by the Russians were responsible for widespread "energy destruction".
"I will dare to say that if another country suffered this scale of energy destruction, it would look much, much worse than Ukraine," he said.
Last month, Russia destroyed one of Ukraine's largest power plants. Facilities in Dnipro in the south of the country and Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv in the west were also attacked.
Targeting energy infrastructure is a way to damage Ukraine's ability to firstly fund the war, and secondly provide citizens with gal, oil and electricity.
"Just to give an understanding... half our energy system is damaged and we still have to run the country, run the war effort, and rally the world's support," Mr Kuleba added.
