The Ukrainian presidential advisor announced on Thursday that there will be greater limits on the use of electricity in places in central Ukraine as a result of a fresh Russian airstrike that damaged the nation’s energy infrastructure.
“In order to avoid the full endowment (supplies) in the middle of (the country), the energy sector was forced to impose tougher restrictions” on electricity consumption, “said Kirillo Timoshenko via” Telegram “.
Without mentioning whether there were any injuries as a result of the attacks, he further emphasised that these limits would apply to the cities of Kyiv, Chirinigiv, Tirkasi, and Ghettomer.
The operating business, Ocinergo, responded by stating that “such procedures allow energy businesses to promptly repair the affected facilities and maintain balance in the” electricity production system “.
Additionally, the governor of the Kyiv Octie Coleba region advised “using electricity in moderation” and “preparing for emergency disruptions for electricity for an infinite period.”
He declared that “this is a necessary move for calming the situation.”
The capital has been experiencing four hours of electricity every day, alternating across the neighbourhoods, since a few days ago.
Russia has been stepping up its attacks on the Ukrainian network for more than two weeks; these attacks destroyed at least a third of the network’s capacity before the winter.
