(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) under the National Security and Defense Council reported this on Faceboo.

In fact, as of 12:00 on January 17, there has been no confirmation of such actions from the Ministry of Energy, the power system operator, regional administrations, or regional energy companies.

“This is an element of hybrid warfare, in which the target is not only Ukraine's energy system but also the resilience of society. The purpose of such information injections is to exert emotional pressure on the population in order to provoke panic and destabilize the situation in Ukraine,” the CCD emphasized.
