Ukraine plans record power imports on Wednesday after significant energy infrastructure damage by Russian missile attacks, the Ukrainian energy ministry said.

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy sector have intensified since March, resulting in blackouts in many regions, forcing Kyiv to start large-scale electricity imports from the European Union.

The ministry said in a statement the country would import 29,796 megawatt hours on Wednesday, exceeding the previous record of up to 28,000 MWh earlier this month.
